How do I dislodge a stuck ink cartridge?

We actually had to cut ours out. We had to cut the ribbon and then put in a new ribbon. Unfortunately, after that episode it was just a short time till we had to replace the complete unit. Seems there is something in there that when it goes bad or breaks, it jams the ribbon. When you finally get the ribbon out, look to see if any additional plastic comes with it.

Make sure the print head which receives the cartridge is not loose. The print head also snaps into place. Be sure it did not come loose.

Turn the cartridge to the left while holding the little black tab out to release the lock and pull upward. The cartridge should come out of the housing.

You do not have to remove any screws or take off the back. Just slide paper guide to the rear and remove. Flip out ink cartridge and replace with new one. Replace paper guide. That's it

Hello Zack,To the change the Ink, open the flatbed. It opens right above the paper tray. The ink cartridges have a latch. To remove an ink cartridge, press the latch of the ink cartridge and pull straight up.To insert an ink cartridge, remove the orange tape from the feed hole at the bottom of the cartridge. Find the color coded slot for the cartridge that you are replacing, press the cartridge straight down into the slot until the latch is secure.

Have you tried unplugging the unit for a few minutes and let it reset when turned back on? Try cleaning the contact points on the cartridge and the printer with a touch of alcohol on a q-tip, let it dry before putting it back in the unit.

It is possible to remove the ink cartridge cover without breaking it, but it is rather difficult. I just snapped off a little piece of the plastic which allowed it to come of easier. This really doesn't matter though because once you take the cover off, you're not going to be using it anymore. And, if for some reason you do need to use it, you can still put it back in place and have it functional. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I can't be much help. I can't remember if that's the same problem I had. I know the ink cartridges were stuck on the left side. I researched and found out others had the same problem. I don't think I had the printer more than a year and a half. I contacted Kodak support and they had no solution that wasn't going to cost me a bunch of money, so I junked it, after trying to take it a part and fix it. This was obviously a technical malfunction not due to normal wear and tear.Kodak should have owned up and fixed it for free. I'll never buy another Kodak again!

On my printer I can refill and reset the original cartridges. I found that, when you get a message for empty cartridge you press and hold the stop button (not the on and off switch) for about 10 seconds.

I flip it upside down. There's a hole in the bottom so the cartridge narrow tip can come through a little to save space.

I made a small hole that only the needle can enter straight & covered it w/ the label sticker of the cartridge (the hole is beneath the sticker). You can use a simple tape glue (not liquid glue) or a sticker. I think it's better to do, as in time it drys fast.

You might want to try putting back in the dead ink cartridge as you can get a few more prints out of it that way. But in the long term, buy a new printer as this one goes through ink like water and will cost you 10x the amount you paid for the printer itself. I threw mine off my third story window and it made a very satisfying crash into the parking lot behind my building.

I believe there is a clear plastic seal glued to outside of passage where ink should go into printer.I removed that seal carefully with penknife. It is glued very well; it may take a few minutes to take it out.

There should be a small screw hole in the handle which you must loosen to remove the handle. Once you removed the handle you should be able to get to the cartridge. Make sure the water is off first :)

Lift the part right under the word Kodak, which is located right above the paper tray. The print head should come automatically to the area where you can squeeze the ink toner and lift it up to remove. It is very easy to replace once you remove the wrapper and the orange plastic cover protecting the ink in the cartridge. Just slide it in back first, then the front snaps in. Close everything and you are ready to go. I usually do the maintenance at this time to clean the print heads and make sure all is lined up again.
