What Is Wrong if My Kodak Printer Has Purple Hues When Printing Photographs?
When your Kodak printer is printing images with the wrong color cast, several different things can be wrong with it. However, they all lead to the same essential problem: the printer does not know what kind of paper it is printing on.

Double Profiling
-
Double profiling occurs when you set a profile for your printer and paper combination in a program like Photoshop, but also set one on your printer in the printer's dialogue box. Make sure you turn the color management off on your printer if you want Photoshop or a program like it to manage colors.
Incorrect Paper Type
-
If you have selected the wrong paper type in the printer dialogue box, there will likely be a strong color cast on your print. To troubleshoot this problem, make sure that you have selected the correct paper type and that the paper you are using is compatible with your printer. It's best to use Kodak paper with Kodak printers, as all the paper types are preloaded in the printer software.

Individual Color Adjustments
-
Alternatively, you can adjust the color cast of the printed photo in the print dialogue box under the "Color Management" tab. Here, you can subtract magenta from the print (which is the color causing the purple hue color cast) and make test prints until the colors are accurate. Using the settings in the printer dialogue box are more accurate than using the settings on the printer.

printing with a kodak esp c310 brand new went to pring a document and it came out blank. Went through the same procedure thinking I had set it up wrong went by the instructions again and the same happens no document printed on paper. Surely a brand new printer should work my last Kodak printer was great what can be wrong.
