Kodak 5300 AiO Printing Preferences VERY SLOW to RESPOND How do I speed up the responce time?

Kodak does not support their printers on any Unix platform. The Open Printing site lists a driver that works for some of the features of the EasyShare 5300 all-in-one: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Kodak/Kodak-EasyShare_5300 . This provides a link to a SourceForge project with a CUPS driver for Kodak AIO printers: http://cupsdriverkodak.sourceforge.net/ .

Good luck getting your printer to work.

(Even though my HP printers have Unix drivers available, I haven't tried them. I use Unix in a LiveCD mode and haven't made a custom LiveCD.)

Have patience. Some printers are damn slow.They print the first page as late as 30 min. Thereafter it gains speed. Check for this.

Atleast Kodak is trying its best and helping the customers by improving its technologies and manufacturing process everyday. If you would have an Hp they would ve stopped supporting your out of warranty printer right now. Visit www.kodak.com/go/itg and follow the step by step process .Get a printhead free of cost is you still facing any problems.

The Kodak AiO printers 5000 series and ESP series PRINTHEADs has orange protective cap that need to be remove to fit on the printer carriage. For the ink cartridges there is also a orange protective cap.
Issue that its not printing black and deep clean and removing the printhead and reinstalling the printhead (reseating printhead) is already done and still no black when printing. The printhead should be replace. For futher assistance call 1 800 421 6699 Kodak AiO printer support line

wrong printing

You MAY not need a new printhead... it's possible that it could be the printer. If you go through the troubleshooting guide on the Kodak website, it will give you a good indication of what the problem could be (printer or printhead) and offer the solution on how to resolve.

Just follow the troubleshooting through the steps and it will provide instructions on what you need to do.

Call tech support. They will send you a new print head.

from what i know, kodak already released an imkproved and upgraded version of their printhead so i guess you dont need to worry about that anymore.

1-Deep clean and calibrate the printhead
2-Try a firmware update @ www.kodak.com/go/downloads
3-Try a removal and reinstall of the printhead and inks
If all this fails, call Kodak Aio support : 1-800-421-6699 (USA)

Download and install the new software and printer firmware from kodak.com (link below - firmware and software is the same for all the 5000 units). Do not use the CD, and Uninstall all previous versions before installing the new software you download from the site.
