Printer problems Our printer in only 9 months old. Its has been used less than a dozen times. At or around about the 4th time we tried to print, it started to say "Out of paper" when it is not. It will not grab the paper and pull it in. You must gently push the top sheet into the feeder wheel to make it grab or it displays out of paper again each and every time! HELP!!!!

I understand that you have not used it much. But you need to make sure the rollers are clean. Take it apart and make sure nothing is on the rollers. If that does not help, check on the printer and see if there is a reset button to reset the whole machine. It may be malfunctioning for some reason and this should fix the problem. If that does not help you will have to take it to a tech.

MFC-490CW Won't print black

We are going to attempt to do a "power purge" to get rid of any clogged ink nozzles. Note, this will probably eat up about half of your ink, but that is the price you must pay in order to attempt to fix this bad boy.

1) Get into maintenance mode. Press these keys: Menu -> Black Start -> Scan x4 (hit it four times). A number pad should come up. If not, do it again.

2) Hit key 7, then key 6.

3) Press the right key until you get to "CLEANING BLACK."

4) Press 3.

5) Press Black Start.

After it purges and gets back to the main maintenance screen, press keys 9 and 9.

Let your printer start back up. If this does not work, try the above steps up to three times. If it does not work then, you need a new print head, which is not a user-replaceable part on this model.

Good luck.

Poor quality black output

There is a defect in the Imaging Unit of these printers....if you replace the imaging unit, the problem of the faded black prints go away. If you have less than 7000 prints, you can call Samsung for a warrantied replacement. The Imaging Unit is supposed to last at least 20,000 prints.

Very light printing

Call Kodak and tell them you're problems. I was in same boat with new cartridges and still problems. My printer was only 9 month old and printed over 600 pages. I received my new printhead along with brand new cartridges and sample of 4x6 photo paper. However, having problems removing the printhead. New printhead came within 1 business day of calling Kodak!

No paper fed

Brother printers dislike photo gloss paper, even if it is only 110gsm, they just don't seem to be able to feed it around the rollers. I suggest using a Matte paper, but no more than 140gsm
