Yes it wastes a bit of energy but Kodak printers can switch to sleep mode, which I'm guessing wastes only a few pence per year.
Kodak website states that "Your all-in-one printer is designed to conserve power. Turning the printer off when it is not in use will not save ink. If your printer is connected to a power source and turned on at all times, it will go into power-saving (sleep) mode. To return to operating mode, send a print job to the printer or press a button on the control pane"
Also, you can manual do the cleaning cycle when required instead of doing it every time you switch on the printer (which wastes a lot of ink!)

Good post above! Like much equipment now it has to go to ultra low power save mode in standby. Someone said the cleaning cycle is there for a reason - yes because if the printer is powered off it doesn't know for how long its been out of use or if the power was interupted by a powercut etc when the head wasn't properly parked and capped so it will go through a priming/cleaning cycle wasting loads of ink, even if its not needed just to be on the safe side.
Powering off printers is a bad idea.0 -
Its the print head thats faulty, i had the exact same problem.

On the power basis - I treat it in the same way as I did my HP and I had no problem with that. I can only presume then that it is a faulty printer head.
Incidentally, 4 days are up in which I was promised a call back. Surprise.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
