I replaced all cartridges and it wont print black

I figured it out. If you are low on (25%) on either colors or black, then it won't print. Even if you load a new black cartridge and it reads as 100% black, it won't print because it will only print when BOTH cartridges have been replaced and reads 100%.
Same thing happens reversed with color being replaced.
So basically, ALL printers short you 25% ink and FORCE you to buy their ink more often. Kodak is no exception.
I have 100% black and 25% color and a BW only needed text paper won't print. I been through this before. *facepalm*

Try to clean the print cartridge nozzles:

1. On the printer control panel, press Menu.
2. Press the down arrow button until you highlight Clean Cartridge. Press Select. A nozzle page prints, forcing ink through the nozzles to clean the clogged nozzles.
3. Print the document again to verify that print quality has improved.
4. If print quality has not improved, try cleaning the print cartridge nozzles up to two more times.

You can also try to align the cartridges:

1. On the printer operator panel, press Menu.
2. Press the down arrow button until you highlight Align Cartridge. Press Select.

Mostly, printer cartridge error occurs when the printer head is unable to identify the cartridge properly. And the basic reason behind this is that the cartridge is improperly attached. To reattach the cartridge, turn on the lid of the printer and then remove the cartridge from the printer head. Check the cartridge to make sure that there are no scratches or other damaged parts that can contribute to a printer cartridge error report. Take note that the cartridge should not be left open for more than 30 minutes; otherwise the ink will start to dry up and the cartridge will get clogged.

Hi,

Here is my advice:

Step one: Run the clean print cartridges utility

1.
Press the Setup button.
2.
Press the down arrow key.
3.
Select Clean Print Cartridge and then press OK . The device prints a test page.
4.
Examine the test page. If the print quality of the page is good, stop here. If the print quality is bad, go on to the next step for further cleaning.
5.
Open the Printer Toolbox . There are two ways to do this:
*
Open HP Solution Center , select the Settings menu, then the Print Settings submenu, and finally the Printer Toolbox .
*
Open Printers and Faxes in the Windows Control Panel , then right-click your printer icon and choose Properties . Click Printing Preferences . Click the Features tab, then click the Printer Services button.
6.
The Printer Toolbox opens. On the Device Services tab, click Clean the Print Cartridges , then follow the on-screen instructions. Up to three levels of cleaning are available. Discard or recycle the page that prints.

Step two: Replace the problem cartridge (you probably have a defective cartridge)
If a cartridge replacement was not tried previously to solve this problem, replace the problem cartridge now

Cause and prevention
Color mix is usually caused by a material touching the nozzles. Ink can wick along the material and travel from nozzle to nozzle. When different colors of ink mix in this way, the result is muddy, inaccurate colors.
Missing colors occur when the cartridge nozzles dry out, or when a color is exhausted because of specific printing demands.

*
Do not remove the protective tape from a new print cartridge until just before you install it. Once you remove the tape, do not reapply it.
*
After you have removed the protective tape, do not allow anything to touch the nozzles.
*
Print at least once a month to keep the print cartridges in good working order.
*
Always turn the printer off by pressing the button on the printer control panel, rather than by unplugging the printer. Turning the printer off properly allows it to protect the cartridges.
*
If you are removing a cartridge from the printer temporarily (for instance, removing the black cartridge in order to install the photo cartridge), put it in a cartridge protector.
*
If you do not have a cartridge protector and need to remove a cartridge temporarily, put it in an airtight plastic tub. Make sure nothing touches the nozzles. Do not use a plastic bag. If you intend to store print cartridges in a tub for a long period of time, place color cartridges with the nozzles down, and black cartridges with the nozzles up. Please post your feedback and Vote if the problem resolved as per your satisfaction.

Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

The printer need both cartridges inside it to printing.Put old color cartridge, new black and press and hold the resume button for 5 seconds.

If you installed new cartridges in teh color slot and it will not print from the computer in color, go into the printer setup menu, a button on the printer should take you here, and print an alignment page. If this fails to print correctly, select to perform a deep cleaning. This will use a lot of ink but will insure your nozzles are working correctly. If nothing prints or the color still isn't correct you will need to either manually clean the nozzles or have someone clean them. To be honest, depending on the cost of the printer it maybe more cost effective just to get a new printer than to have your manually cleaned. As inexpensive and printers are today I don't even replace cartridges anymore except for the black one. When the color runs out I get a new printer. The printer runs 35 to 39 dollars the color cartridge runs 35 to 37 dollars. But I don't do a lot of color printing. It is a choice the individual has to make.

what are you trying to print in black? the best way to test out a black ink is to open word pad and type some thing random and print it and see if that works. if you have a all in one printer u might have 2 inks one color and one black in the printer

Please see the online guide at:

and click on Replacing Ink Cartridges. To change a cartridge before it is low or empty you must press the maintenance button AND the power button at the same time, or use the print utility.

If the new cartridge also fails to produce print, come back with a new comment for further help.

i have the same problem too. This is obviously a product defect. If Canon not fix it, i wont buy Canon printer anymore.
