Clean print heads? Kodak 5300

SOURCE: kodak 5300 first said error 3802 now says print head missing or loose

Yeah I tried all of the things imaginable but it still will not print black... it prints color but not black.

SOURCE: kodak 5300 aio printer won't print black

My 5300 printer is only 15 month old and has developed a fault, it will not print in Black. The photo side 6x4 is great but on the A4 side the text is grey and the photos discoloured. I have gone through cleaning the heads both basic and deep, no joy, have recalibrated still no good, any solutions.

Thanks
Dave

I had to buy a new printer head for this Kodak 5300 all-in-one printer.

I got the same Problem as listed above. This is the way how I was able to solve it:

• Remove the color and black ink cartridges and the printhead. (the 5300 Printhead can be removed by pressing a button on top of the carriage and a slight pull --> for better instructions use this official Kodak PDF)
  

• Try to clean the printhead and the carriage with a slighty wet cloth from ink. CAUTION!: better not touch the green electronic chip! Be carefull while cleaning.
  

• Reinstall the printhead and the ink cartridges.

• If the printer detects a 'new' printhead just do a calibration and your are done. If not try to print a test page.
