I purchased another one "used," and now I'm back in business. It's so easy to use. The printer dock series 3 is a wonderful little device. One of its best features is that most easy share cameras can access this machine with a simple change of an adapter plate. It charges my camera, downloads my pics to my computer, and produces quick pics. My first one broke after several years. So if you update your easy share camera, you can still use the printer. Just wonderful.
Kodak used to be a good company. I have discovered that it is a cheap white plastic part, a "hold-down cam", that is broken. Based on my internet searches, this seems to be a common problem with these printers, so it is a design flaw that was never acknowledged, and you can't even get the replacement part. It was very easy to use, and the prints came out really nice. There's no excuse for them selling this junk. I loved it, at first. I bought the series 3 printer dock and camera with carrying case less than two years ago. The warranty is expired, and Kodak does not sell the replacement part I need, so I might as well toss it in the trash can where it belongs.
We really haven't used it that much; we've printed maybe 150 pictures, and now it doesn't want to feed the papers through, and when it finally does, it prints only half the picture. Other people have had the same problem. Kodak should repair or replace all of the defective units, regardless. I will never buy another Kodak product.
As I reviewed the available products the cost of the one that I finally purchased caught my eye. My Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock stopped working, so I was in the market to purchase a replacement. I made the purchase & within a few days the product arrived at my home. Since my Kodak digital camera & printer dock are both discontinued models Amazon was my only option. I wanted to know the cost & condition of the printer dock before I made the purchase. I was surprised to se that a printer cartridge was still installed in the printer dock, so I immediately printed a picture to see if everything worked, the picture printed out crystal clear. The printed dock also came with extra high quality nphoto paper, again I'm totally pleased with this purchase.
I had to take it to a repair person, who used most of it for parts on another dock. This product was very long in getting here and was not as advertised (in good condition). The paper tray would not send paper through the dock, it was scratched and look like it was very will used. So I can only say that it became a very expensive thing. I was not happy with it at all, except that I did get a working dock by combining it with another dock.
Kodak does not make that printer any more. I was very happy to find the printer dock for our Kodak Easyshare camera. The original printer that was purchased with the camera broke. The printer dock I purchased on amazon is working just fine, I was very lucky to have found it. Thank you.Cora
