Kodak EasyShare G600 Printer Dock

I originally bought the Kodak Easyshare camera and printer dock as a bundle and the printer broke within a year. I finally found a replacement printer dock on Amazon which cost more than the entire original bundle. When I got it, it was also broken. The store I bought it from would not take it back. I had to send it to a repair shop on the east coast and I am still waiting for it to be returned. I may not get the printer dock I purchased back. I may get a refurbished one. That's their policy. It has been a frustrating experience and it isn't over yet!

This printer was given to us as a gift and worked fine the first time. It hasn't worked the way it is supposed to since. Every time I go to print pictures it gives me problems and maybe I walk away with one printed picture after struggling with it for an hour. The paper will not feed into the printer (we use Kodak paper that came with it) so you spend all your time trying to get the printer to take the paper. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

This is a great printer. Prints super nice pictures, but I don't understand why this price is so high! I bought one on Kodak.com for less that $100! I would look elsewhere before you buy one for $375.00!

I liked the printer at first. And even put up with it's unreliability. Normally I am pretty easy going and realize nothing electronic will work amazing each and every time. But...I sit down to print out photos for scrapbooking, and the printer freaks out. I had to troubleshoot by going online and researching what the errors was...there was no description of my error, so instead I ripped them damn thing apart and the ink cartridge was stuck. I ripped that out and had to open the machine further in order to get the broken piece out. Not happy, but purchased a second printer anyways...hoping I might find some resolve (doubting it, and angry at my purchase). I will deal with it and try and clean it better and whisper sweet nothings into it's ports and hope it finds love within my print outs. I am not wanting to purchase another printer. I just purchased one, but not for photos because I have the amazing non working printer...If I could recommend it to friends or family, I would say buy the camera and a buy different printer.

I just ran across these customer reviews on the Kodak G600 printer dock and found so many similarities with my experience -- bought the camera first, then the printer in March 2007. Worked great at first -- produces bright, good quality pictures; fairly easy setup between camera directly or computer; no messy ink or toner; BUT.... when it shoots craps, forget it!

I had the same trouble with paper rollers... researched the troubleshooting and did the cleaning with some alcohol and Q-tips, fixed that problem.

Then I was in the process of printing several photos and the color cartridge indicator light came on. After I had taken out the old one and inserted the new one, as I had done numerous times, the printer started up again briefly but then stopped with the red cartridge icon light blinking. When I tried to remove the cartridge, it wouldn't come out. I tried numerous ways for quite a while, even temporarily taking off the top and side panels - we were finally able to remove the cartridge by breaking it (the cartridge) and extracting it in pieces. However, I still could not insert a new cartridge.

Since luckily it was still barely under warranty, I had to get a duplicate sales receipt from the store I purchased it from and ship it to a service center. I think they sent me back a different "refurbished" printer and it has never worked properly... pictures come out very fuzzy or grainy, seems like something's not lined up right.

I guess I'm glad to see I'm not alone with this. I too hope Kodak can do whatever to improve the reliability and longevity of what could be a cool little printer.
