DO NOT BUY ANY PRINTER THAT USES COMPUTER REFILL CHIPS BUILT INTO THE CARTRIDGE. All they do is waste ink and cost you lots of money. Keep in mind folks, that your new Kodak printer is just my 5100 with a new skin.... My Kodak 5100 is about to go in ...

Pros: Has good print quality, easy to use.
Cons: Makes you buy ink even if you don't need to print.

I bought my Kodak Easy Share 5100 in February of 2009. I just recently ran out of color ink. Of course, now it won't even print a black and white document. When I contact Kodak support online, they tell me that it won't print unless there is ink in both ...

Pros: ummm, don't know, never worked
Cons: bad or no prints, software stinks, useless help, STAY AWAY!

Pros: Worked well when it worked.
Cons: Didn't work.

To be fair, the printer worked fine for the first 6 months.  Then the trouble started.  First I noticed that the level of color ink as shown on the printer's dialog box went down constantly, though we rarely printed anything in color.  I ...

Pros: Decent quality output; cheaper ink; service techs are friendly
Cons: had mechanical problems out of the box that took time to get fixed

Bought it new December 2007.  Worked until time to replace cartridges then wouldn't work anymore.  Long discussions and tests with the service people led to replacement with another one (free quick shipping turn around).  That one did ...

Pros: Easy to use. Quality of prints (B/W and Color). Update: when it works!
Cons:

Poor printer head quality; have replaced it 3-times. VERY NOISY. Very large printer. Very slow.

I've owned the AIO 5100 for 18-months now and am extremely frustrated. When it's time to replace ink cartridges, I've had to replace the printer head each time. Have replaced ink cartridges two times and had to replace the printer head both ...

Pros: The hardware is fairly good, and it prints great pictures.
Cons: The Kodak and Easyshare software is a total mess. Kodak support is even worse.

I originally installed this printer on my system with no troubles, and it worked great. Then, one day, I tried to scan a document to e-mail by creating a PDF file...it was an option. This didn't work, and I had to use the JPG format. I wrote Kodak a ...

Pros: It did print good pictures when it worked.
Cons: You have to keep replacing the printhead.

I purchased this printer on February 24, 2008. It worked fine until May 2008. I started having problems with the black prints coming out faded and lines through the characters. Then I started having problems with printing pictures. I had to continually ...

Pros: None when compared to the competition.
Cons: This is a poorly engineered product.

I have the same problem that many others have with this printer, i.e. after approximately 9 months of operation black printing is difficult to obtain. In too many instances the printer seems to be printing as the paper proceeds through the printer, ...

Pros: None None Zero
Cons: Everything!

Horrible!! Worst Printer Ever Created!!! Don't Ever Buy... not even second hand for a discount! This printer is such a low quality. I had a BIG problem with the scanner first. Underneath the scanner glass Kodak had used some cheap packing tape to hold ...

Pros: Easy to use.Easy to install.Great prints .Cheap quality ink.
Cons: I'd like to see support for wireless networking and Ubuntu.

Like many people I look for reviews online. Then wade through positive and negative reviews hoping that the product I chose was a good choice. I'm glad i bought this printer. What drew me to the 5100 was the ink. My old printer works fine. But it ...

Pros: Easy updates. Good prints. Somewhat less expensive
Cons: Well, mine broke under hard use. Twice now.

I use the printer on a home wireless network by printer sharing through a desktop Macintosh. It's worked okay for about 6 months. For the last month it's been subjected to heavier than usual usage due to my printing many 30-page employment packets. It ...

Pros: Light enough to carry back into the store myself to return it.
Cons: The entire product AND customer support.

We purchased the 5100 AIO as a Christmas present for my husband's grandmother. After installing the first printer for her it would only feed blank sheet after blank sheet of paper. Brilliantly, we exchanged it for the same thing... installed it on ...

Pros: Beautiful photos and copies, affordable ink cartridges, great design
Cons: Does not support networking

This is the deal with the Kodak Easyshare 5100 printer. I purchased mine about one week ago. As with most any new digital device, there were some problems. This is to be expected so I knew to just have some patience and I could have a great printer with ...
