Kodak Hero 3 Printer Trouble
I love this printer. Now suddenly it only prints grey, whether color
or b&w. I put in new cartridges - same result. Anything I can try? I'd sure like to keep the printer. Thanks JW |

When I did a copy of a b&w page, when I set b&w, it came out very light grey. When I set color to color it came out blue. Thanks JW |

Thanks JW It has a "Restore to factory defaults", if you're not making progress. http://resources.kodak.com/support/s...1330c9s5.shtml Paul Thanks. Tried it - no improvement. I wonder if the black cartridge is bad, or its printer socket is plugged? It's a new cartridge. Re-manuf. tho JW |

Re-manuf. tho JW Also, there is a FAQ entry on the Kodak site, that says when printing black and white, it cannot make "dark black" without adding a tiny bit of ink from the color cart. Which isn't really consistent with some of the examples here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model Your "suddenly printing grey" would mean that the color one isn't working at all, and the printer cannot make a good black without it.

Thanks JW It has a "Restore to factory defaults", if you're not making progress. http://resources.kodak.com/support/s...1330c9s5.shtml Paul I tried the cleaning process again, then redid a copy of a b&w printed page with b&w pics and b texts. Did a b&w copy and got light gray pics, unreadable texts with horiz heavy black lines across all pics. I think something is wrong involving the black. Thanks JW |
