KODAK PRINTER DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!

[Gavmacp]

We bought a Kodak printer from pcworld. I thought Kodak would be a brand you could rely on, OH HOW WRONG CAN YOU BE!!!!
Since buying this printer I have had hours of trouble shooting trying to get the thing just to print a simple document.
NEVER try to update as every time I did this it would completely mess up and I would have to reinstall the thing.
The printing quality is hit and miss.
The printer will not print a black and white document if the colour the colour ink has run out.
I opened the thing today as it has now decided to destroy the paper when printing and discovered a lot of gunk in the mechanism.
I could go on but will not.
From the feed back I have received from people buy a Canon or Epsom, though the Epsom has some issues when installing.
Please do not make the same mistake as I have made.

This is the kind of customer feedback which is extremely useful. Duly noted.

We've got a Lexmark. Never had a problem with it. Oh, that's a lie, it's runs out of ink :-)

Maybe yours was made on a Friday? Manufacturing anything on a friday should be a no-no.

Take it back.

I've used Kodak printers and I know of a lot of other people that have used Kodak printers with no problems at all.

I have a Kodak printer and have never had any problems with it

A colleague went into a computer repair shop and asked what printer he should buy, he is obviously wiser than me. Well the chap said do not buy a Kodak as he had many to repair. Much more than any other brand.
I would never *** off a company if I thought it was a one off but I have spoken to lots of people with a disappointing response.

Take it back and ask for a different make - how long have you had it?

Its not Epsom but EPSON !

[Gavmacp]

I stand corrected!

I also had a Kodak printer, highly priced I thought but much cheaper ink. After about 1 year it gradually deteriorated and had to ask for a new printer head. This lasted for a couple of months and went downhill after that. Eventually the print was undecipherable and in the end got blank printout pages. I was changing the ink cartrridges every week:gawd knows where the ink went to.

Every time you get a Kodak update it doesn't just send a patch but the whole 90Mb program which has to be reinstalled and wastes a lot of time.

Do not buy for a long term investment!

I certainly wouldnt buy a Kodak printer again. Ive got to say weve had it about 2 years and its still working but its like an old tractor - noisy and slow.
