printhead jam in my all in one 6150 How do I fix this?

Had the same exact thing happen to me. Unplugging it for a day worked twice, but only temporarily. I usually buy several toner cartridges extra so I don't run out. Would love to get ths working again so I can use them. Any luck reinstalling software?

I had same problem. There was no fix after working with Kodak technician. Printer had worked flawlessly for two years. Technician offered a free refurbished printer (same print cartridges but no fax) with 90 day warrantee...I pay shipping cost...$10. This print head jam seems to a common problem. It is not a paper issue.

There is no way to fix it. I had to call Kodak and they went through the normal troubleshooting list. They said that it is a hardware issue and because my printer is out of warranty, they offered me a deal on two other Kodak printers: ESP 2170 for $79.99 or the ESP 2150 for $69.99 plus shipping and handling (which I didn't ask the cost of). I liked the inexpensive ink of my Kodak but am currently looking at Canon MAXIFY MB2020 and MAXIFY MB2320 printers with similarly low priced ink.

I agree with the first answer. The sad thing I learned is that a jammed printhead is a common cause of failure of this printer. It wan't a paper jam, although the readout said it was. The printhead jammed and there was no way to move it. Mine was only 13 mo. old so they wouldn't replace it and when I called they had no remedy other than searching for paper jam. For this reason I would never buy another Kodak.

Your manual should tell you how to clear the paper jam. You open the printer to where the printheads are. You can move the printheads to one side or the other and be able to pick out the paper. Don't forget to open the rear door also, it will make it easier to remove the paper with less stress on the paper. Hope this helps.

Same thing just happened to mine. On-line trouble shooting was of no value. Ordering another 6150 as my ink inventory cost too much not to use.

The print head is probably clogged. Google it, and you will find directions on how to remove it and clean it. Do NOT use the maintance feature. It will clog it more. Good luck

Same happend to me this ink clogged my print heads, only way to fix it you need to take the print head s apart and clean them with the right products, look in youtube I believe there is a link about how to repair. I just went and bought another printer

Like some others, I had the problem with the 532 paper jamming also. There are instructions on how to clear the jams on the Canon site. In the end I opted for another model, an MX 472, which seems to work OK and it uses the same ink cartridges as the 532

Call the help desk; they are really good at walking through any issues with the printer. Great service.

This just started happening on a hp 2605dn as well. Brief seach seems to show that, though not common, it is an issue.No solution found short of returning the printer.. yet. Have written to HP about this. I am waiting for an answer

Apparently that is the nature of this printer as I had to do the same after I'd replaced the black/yellow printhead, also replace the magenta/cyan printhead. I hope this helps, Dave.

Not completely sure but here is what I did. Check youtube and enter in the same symptom. I do believe there is a step by step procedure on Youtube to clean the print head. I wish I could help more but that is what I did with mine.

Unfortunately that usually the print head is ruined and needs to be replaced. I would not suggest that you do so and instead just buy an Epson Workforce printer which uses less ink and is far more reliable.

We had the same problem, I called HP and they knew of the defect and they sent a replacement after there troubleshooting session, no problems now WE LOVE this printer. MAY SILL JAMS EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO, BUT THE GOOD BY FAR OUT WEIGHS THE BAD.

If you have put in a new print head and the re-alignment fails, try taking it back out and then reseating it. This worked for me. I must not have gotten it in right the first time.

Have you tried restarting the printer? You might need to clean the heads, use your printer software that came with your printer and it will self clean.

I'm not sure a new print head would definitely fix your problem, but I had a strange error message a couple of years ago, decided to buy a new print head and my printer has worked perfectly ever since.

Turn the printer off for a minute then turn back on to reset,this happens with my 7520 e all in one too. this should work.

I am assuming that you have tried to clean the print heads. This happened to me, and in the end I had to return the printer. It was under warranty and was replaced by Epson.
