All I can think to tell you is to find the section in the online help that tells you about the flashing lights. They are flashing a countable pattern that will tell you what is wrong. If you follow through with the instructions about the problem you should be able to fix it once and for all. Also try reinstalling your driver. Many times a driver can somehow miss some info the first time it is installed. Reinstalling can fill in the gaps.

I had this happen when I readjusted the paper slide bar after it started printing. When you put paper in and adjust the slide bar up to the paper don't touch it again after you start printing even though it will look like it is no longer up against the paper. The bar moves away from the paper when printing begins, it is suppose to.

When I first got the printer I had problem loading paper from the top. The thing I was doing wrong is that I was placing the paper on the WRONG side of the slider that is used to snug-up the various width papers. The paper goes on the right side of that slider and I was loading it on the left. Perhaps that is what is happening with you?

First make sure there is not a piece of paper jammed. If it looks ok then shut the printer off and unplug it for a minute. Plug it back in and turn it on, should clear it.

If you haven't figured this out by now, use your on screen manual that should have loaded to your computer program list when you loaded your printer. I've not had this problem, but did have one and after hours of researching on Google I brought up the manual and followed the directions - viola, problem solved. I did have a paper jam once and couldn't see it until I opened the back of the printer. Also, always remember to push the flashing button when you've completed any task - it let's the printer know to proceed. (Richard's wife, deb)

It will say an error code, but I press Ok and continues. If not then I suggest send it back. make sure you have the correct model for your printer. :) Good luck!

Franklin, I bought this printer a year ago and my problem is annoying paper jams, over and over and over..... which means I have to remove the back and extricate the paper. As far as your print head is concerned, I experienced that once. I turned off the power, unplugged the printer, removed both cartridges and waited about 20 minutes before powering it up again. The printer seemed to recognize that it was missing the cartridges and immediately rebooted to receive them. In the final analysis, I have regretted this purchase.... good luck. BILL

try rebooting it by unplugging it for 30 seconds then plug it back in and start it to see see if that helps. Part of the problem is that when it jams all the way to the left and is not accessible because of the cover it is under, so you can't do anything with the printhead or the cartridges.

If your printer will not picking up the paper to print, try a cue tip dipped in alcohol and clean the roller or rollers on the printer. Fan the paper out to keep it from sticking to each other in the tray. I hope this will help you.

I don't have anything useful to tell you. Mine did the same thing. I had to scrap it and get a new one. The Kodak Hero is the worst printer I've ever used. Good luck!

Thanks for your help. I did the firmware update and tested the printer, but the problem still persists in my case.

yeah, sadly it happens to me to often, more than 50% of the time the paper won't load all the way into the printer, thus the printer recognize it as paper-jam, and it has been two months since i've bought it, so guess there is no returning this purchase, lexmark are great at software problem solving for windows7, but i doubt they will replace it since this is not a manufacturing error, but bad-design PERIOD

I have these king of problems a few times. You need to take out the ink cart and put it back. turn off the power and restart. It will work again.

Try the old toner and drum. Do they work? Make sure you have pulled the strip that released the toner into the unit, some do not have that requirement. If none of that helped, maybe the laser failed or other electronics. Could even be a software or driver issue, can you print a test page?

What is the problem exactly.Put paper in it first. Then print something, put legal size paper in it and print a legal size paper. Try that first. Mine just worked

I had s similar problem with printer not working. I ended up purchasing a new printer through Amazon. Sorry I can't help you further.

I actually had this problem from the outset. I called Epson and they sent me a new one that is perfect. I'm guessing you take a chance if you get a good one or not. If you don't want to deal with shipping items then you may want to buy in store for easy returns. So far the printer is most definitely worth it though
