I've had this problem with my esp 3250 that has become progressively worse over past year. I have tried every fix available online from driver, cleaning, power, etc. My printers default quality was set to 'draft' (just to save ink) which obviously speeds up the printing and I've found that if I use 'normal' or 'best' quality, it seems to help the printer detect paper edges, I think bc it slows down physical printing process? go figure but it's gotten me around a few times when I've needed hard copies immediately. Also, changing to heavier bond paper, 92 or better helped with edge detection. I'll finish current ink and not buy another one of these:(

SOURCE: Printer says 'Unable to detect paper width'

The paper tray has some "fingers" that detect the paper.
Remove the paper and tap the sensors a few times to make sure they are not stuck.
Use lots of mamper, not just one sheet so that there is enough weight to press down on the sensors.
Perhaps it is Earth's gravity that is malfunctioning today :)

SOURCE: purchased Kodak ESP 3250 yesterday. Not printing photographs.

Yes sounds to me like one of your ink cartridge is empty. Replace and try again.

Testimonial: "Hi - the printer was caput - had to be replaced. Thank you for help."

Clean the gold section of the print cartridge's with a wet paper towel.
Also clean the gold surfaces where the cartridge meets the printer.
Wipe the contacts clean with a dry paper towel once you get no ink back on the wet paper towels. Allow about an hour for the printer to dry.
Reinstall the cartridges and try printing.

Hope This Helps.

My Kodak ESP 3250 won't scan. It just keeps telling me "Scan to computer failed"

Try initiating the scan from the computer, once you plug in the USB cable into your computer, go to My Computer, right click the sanner (should be called something along the lines of KODAK ESP.....) and press scan, then click which program you'll use to scan it, I usually do the Microsoft one, Good luck!!

Contact Kodak. I think it's the batch of printers that were made around this time. I just contacted them (mine is the same age and I'm getting the same error), and they are sending me a new printer.
