New kodak esp3 prints prints a purple/gray instead of blue

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*

go into control panel and printers
right click on the printer and click share, then go onto the laptop and add printer and tell it its a network printer and search for it then once you have done that you can print from your laptop

This 3 color drop flashed when the color ink cartridge needs to be replaced.

Try to use a new color ink cartridge > If no go, call Kodak they will replace the color ink > If no go > Call Kodak and this time they will replace the printer

For that problem kindly try doing the ff:

* Re-seat the inks both color and black then try printing
* Re-seat the Printhead of the printer then print again
* if problem still persist call 1800 421 6699 and the technical rep will replace the printhead

Hope this will help

I would say phone or email Kodak as you may have a faulty printhead. If Kodak sayes you have a bad head they will airmail you one overnight and throw in free black and color ink tanks all free of charge.
I have read that some how in making the printhead a run got too hot in process and thus a bad printhead.
Hope this helps

hello.

with the printer ON, lift the scanner/top to access the cartridges. remove the ink cartridges. lift the gray tab gently with thumb and index finger of one hand. gently pull the print head up and out with the other hand. install new print head back first, then press target with thumb gently until you hear snap/click. reinstall ink cartridges.

good luck,

check and make sure the cartridges arent faulty and that the ink color matches
