Is there any way to override the color cartridge monitor, apparently tied to number of pages printed, not amount of ink used? That is the problem I have been having with Kodak printers and forced cartridge purchasing. Select Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.

I have gone through two cycles of cartridges, regular capacity and high capacity, with same results. For all computers and operating systems: If you haven’t yet installed the printer software, insert the software CD that came with your printer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. With this menu open, you can choose to either set the frequency of updates or choose Never to prevent all updates in the future.

From here, click Software Update Settings at the bottom of the list. PLEASE NOTE: KODAK All-in-One Printers and EASYSHARE Digital Cameras were discontinued in 2012 and have no live support. If you cannot find your answer, please email us by filling out the form at Help & Support. If I remove and replace the same color cartridge, it knows and says color is out, needs to be replaced. Locate your printers icon in the Windows taskbar at the bottom and right click on it. For help with a Kodak manufactured product or purchasing a Kodak product, click on Search Articles below. About the time it says I need to replace the black, it says I need to replace the color also. In the Control Panel, you need to scroll through the left column until you find the green heading Hardware and Sound. I verify black only at every print job, regardless of program I am using.Īfter an appropriate number of pages printed with black ink only, never using any color ink, the printer monitor gauge shows the color ink level dropping along with the black. Click the Start menu in the bottom left corner of the screen and, in the menu, slightly to the right of this, left-click on the Control Panel tab.

I choose only black ink, all the time, every print job. Not photos, not color in document printing. Often I find draft setting gives satisfactory results. I set printer options in control panel, and check at each print job system dialog, use black ink only. I load new cartridges, one black, one color. OK, here is my Kodak printer issue, similar to past Epson issues.
