You can simply go to your setting and find the setting for both photo and image because you might have untick the other. But if not, maybe it is a problem with your driver.

I'm mostly ignorant about Kodak printers, but my speculation is that b/w text may have problems, which would point at the black pigment ink.

In "the world of Canon", having a MediaType of "Plain Paper" and printing b/w text will use black pigment ink. Pretty much any other MediaType will involve the CMY or CMYK dye ink. I'd be a bit surprised if the Kodak printer was much different.

I assume that your Kodak printer can do the equivalent of a "nozzle check" (may have different name in Kodak land). What does it look like? Can you scan the nozzle check, and include as attachment?
