KODAK EASYSHARE 5100 NOT PRINTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
My printer has stopped printing!! It makes all the sounds as if it is printing but the paper comes out blank. I can scan a picture and it comes out fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as my daughter is trying to print out her homework.
Many thanks

Most likely your print head is clogged, there are 2,00 some nozzle's in it. If the printer is not used for a moderate amount of time the ink can dry up and cause a clog in those nozzle's. You can try doing a printhead clean from the main menu, or homecenter->?->maintenance. Then after that do a calibration, print a demo sheet to see if there is any improvment. The printhead clean pushes ink through the nozzles to try to clear clogs. The calibration scans those nozzles to see which are avalible to use, and makes sure that all the avalible nozzles are being used. If this does not fix the problem you most likely need a printhead but you will have to call kodak; as they are not avalible in stores. Also you can try updating your firmware from kodak home center, or www.kodak.com/go/downloads
This definitely worked! Follow instructions above, just need to add --look under Advanced tab in the Kodak maintenance menu to find the fix!
