Eastman Kodak was founded by George Eastman in 1888 and originally sold cameras and film, chemicals, and paper.
Up until 1976 Kodak held 90% of the market, until Japanese Fujifilm entered the American market and became Kodak’s rival.
Kodak developed the first digital camera in 1975 but it dropped the product because the company thought it would threaten its successful film business.
The company was slow to adopt digital technology when it began to gain popularity in the 1990’s and as a result began to face financial struggles which resulted in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2012.
Kodak announced in 2012 that it would cease manufacturing cameras and focus on the corporate digital imaging market.
Today Eastman Kodak Company trades publicly on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol KODK, is #562 in the Fortune 1000, has 8,800 employees, and had $2.24 billion in revenue in 2013.

I am a retired officer of the company (20years ago). I have received notice that I am responsible for Kodak tax liability in the state of Missouri. The Missouri Dept. of revenue tells me that Kodak did not remove my name from their list 20 years ago. I have not been able to speak with anyone in the company to file a 126 form and make that correction. I would appreciate some guidance to have this corrected.
We are centralizing all our contracts and I need a copy of our contract by Monday.

In 2005 I was 65 years old and working for a company called Tech Services International in Kennett Square PA. Kodak purchased TSI and proceeded to dismantle the company and to severance employees. Forward to today: I am 77 years old and applying for Medicare. Information that I need from Kodak is no longer available. Speaking to Kodak Reps in Benefits Dept., I am told they are so sorry. That means that I will have to pay a penalty to Medicare for not being able to prove that I has medical coverage in 2005.. What a world, where “I’m so sorry” is the end of the conversation.
I can appreciate Kodak’s product lines today. If you could leverage your knowledge of chemicals, printing, and printer capability into BIO PRINTING of human organs you may end up where you want to be as a leader in printing technology. Nobody, as far as know, has perfected this but many are trying. Maybe it’s not to late to partner with someone who needs your expertise in printing and printer functionality to print human organs… this is innovative. I understand that you do not want to throw away what you have gained in the past and there is no reason to, but leverage what you have for where society is trying to go which is beyond what you are familiar with in printing pictures, graphics, etc.,..meaning the organization will have to think outside the box and go where no man has gone before try printing organs this may not be sustaining for you now but it is the future…go there, see the future and go there….
Just a thought…

John, we tried printing from Apple’s PAGES and it did the problem all over again. I have taken a picture of it and sent it to him. 3:13 PM
ok let me try once3:13 PMJohn Marcus
I’ll send it to you as well. 3:13 PM
from my end3:13 PMJohn Marcus
John, you’re wasting your time and mine and Apple’s. THIS IS A PRINTER PROBLEM. 3:19 PM
nope3:19 PMJohn Marcus
it is not a printer problem3:19 PMJohn Marcus
let me tell you , if it is a printer problem you will not be able to print anything.3:19 PMJohn Marcus
it might be either the problem with the application or with the doXXXXent.3:20 PMJohn Marcus
I have asked time and again for a year to give me credit on buying a new machine. It doesn’t print envelopes and I had Microsoft work on it for 9 months. You can’t fix it and it’s NOT an Apple problem. It is a KODAK problem. I need a new machine. To repeat it was purchased new in 2012, but taken out of the box in 2016 for the firwt time. I hae had these problems since day one. AM FED UP WITH THEM.3:20 PM
IT’S not printing the bottom lines and footers and page numbers. And ther eis no way you can fix it. A year says it’s a PRINTER PROBLEM, and nothing else. 3:21 PM
This is what Apple is sahing too. 3:21 PM
It doesn’t matter the application. It’s the same problems from whatever application is used. 3:22 PM
sorry to say that it is not a printer problem, as a technical agent we are aware of the problems. however this issue is not with the printer.3:22 PMJohn Marcus
if you have any other computer3:22 PMJohn Marcus
you can try from it 3:22 PMJohn Marcus
and I am sure it will print fine without any problem.3:22 PMJohn Marcus
I don’t have another computer. 3:22 PM
I have an iMac 27 the best in the busines..3:23 PM
I would like to try another printer too!3:23 PM
If I go buy another printer and it works, will you give me my money back on the KODAK that doesn’t work?3:24 PM
Also, I have sent the doXXXXents to other people to print out for me and they print fine. This morning I had an EXTREMELY URGENT AND IMPORTANT legal matter to the Federal District Court in Pittsburg and I had to turn it in with no pate numbers and the bottom line with a WHITE strike out throug it. I can scan or photgraph these for you if you want to see them. 3:26 PM
I really understand your concern but we see that there is proper communication between the computer and the printer. 3:29 PMJohn Marcus
The printer isnt printing the bottom 1/18th of an inch and no ink goes ther. 3:30 PM
Where there is way, WAY amount of space for a page number it will not print it. 3:30 PM
if you have any printed doXXXXent which has a number on it , you can directly copy it from the printer so that we can see if it is really the problem with the printer or with the computer.3:30 PMJohn Marcus
Envelopes puts a COLUMN right in the middle of the return address of white space!!!! No one has been able to fix that!3:31 PM
I have pictures of all these things I can let you see. 3:31 PM
Diretly copying from the scanner or how about my just sending you a photo of it?3:32 PM
if you can copy a doXXXXent which has a number on it and if that prints that means the printer is working fine.3:32 PMJohn Marcus

Now, look at this envelope! It’s actually one of the best I’ve ever had printed, but you will see that it’s left side is cut off. 3:33 PM
That will mean I have to print all this stuff out and we’re wasting trees and ink to say nothing of the cost this has been to me in terms of brain damage and money. 3:34 PM
please open what I sent you here 3:35 PM
Yes I did see that.3:35 PMJohn Marcus

Can you open the same doXXXXent, we would like to try printing again for one last time.3:42 PMJohn Marcus
Yes. 3:42 PM
Please let me know if it printed fine.3:45 PMJohn Marcus
Okay it printed out and there is NO SIGN OF “GEOLOGY 101 REPORT” or the page number. It is completly blank. 3:45 PM
If you find you have to print this doXXXXent again, pleae only print page one. 3:49 PM
okay3:49 PMJohn Marcus
can you please save the page in PDF format so that we can try printing it in PDF format.3:50 PMJohn Marcus
Ys, just a moment. 3:51 PM
okay3:51 PMJohn Marcus
I don’t know how to do it. I usually use Microsoft Office 3653:52 PM
please open the original doXXXXent3:53 PMJohn Marcus
sir now open the doXXXXent3:54 PMJohn Marcus
shall I print page one?3:55 PM
please open the doXXXXent3:58 PMJohn Marcus
that we saved now3:58 PMJohn Marcus
I see that the page is not getting saved to pDF4:02 PMJohn Marcus
yes it is. 4:02 PM
As we tried all the possible steps from our end and still we have the same issue4:03 PMJohn Marcus
That’s right. I have been trying to tell you that I have been fighting this for a year. It’s the printer! 4:03 PM
if it is the printer we wouldnt have print any thinbg4:03 PMJohn Marcus
it may be the issue with the Mac4:04 PMJohn Marcus
Well, why doesn’t it print envelopes and legal doXXXXents?4:04 PM
No!!! We just had Apple on here and he watched everything. It’s not Apple. 4:04 PM
I tell you. I I go buy another printer, it’s going to work perfectly. BUT I need some of my mony back on this KODAK4:05 PM
As wetried evrything from our end sir 4:05 PMJohn Marcus
still we have the same issue4:05 PMJohn Marcus
Remember, it doesn’t print envelopes or legal doXXXXents. 4:05 PM
it might be the page alignment is the problem4:06 PMJohn Marcus
i suggest you to please once check with Microsoft 4:06 PMJohn Marcus
Okay, if that’s it you can fix it. But that’s not it beasue even that has been tried. 4:06 PM
as we are not trained on Microsoft applications4:06 PMJohn Marcus
I spent 9 months with Microsoft on the envelope issue and their best engineers said it was a printer issue. 4:06 PM
As you can see, it doesn’t work on Microsoft Office 365, Google Drive 1, or Pages. 4:07 PM
Sir as of now i suggest you to check with Microsoft to fix the issue 4:08 PMJohn Marcus
My Apple man that was just here was one of their top “fixers.” He is certain it’s queer printer. 4:08 PM
You didn’t hear me say I spent NINE MONTHS WITH THEM?????4:08 PM
as we tried all the possible steps 4:08 PMJohn Marcus
IT’S A QUEER PRINTER. 4:08 PM
THE PRINTER IS A “LEMON.” It cannot be fixed. It was manufacturepad ge iwrong somewhere. 4:09 PM
sir if it the printer it not print any thing but i see that the page is coming witha print on it4:09 PMJohn Marcus
LOL! Would you trust three years of yoru life to not being able to print bottom lines, envelopes and page numbers when the court requires that????4:09 PM
sir sorry for the inconvinience that is the only i can suggest4:10 PMJohn Marcus
“Inconvenience?” I wish that was all it was!!!!4:10 PM
I want another printer, and need SOME OF MY MONEY BACK. 4:11 PM
sorry to say sir we can ot replace the printer or give a Refund4:12 PMJohn Marcus
Give me the phone number of anyone I can contact in the States. 4:12 PM
Tech support is in India and we dont have the number for United States4:12 PMJohn Marcus
I know that. But you CAN get that number and that’s what I need. My problem is way above your pay grade, but it is a KODAK problem, becauase my doXXXXents can be printed on other Mac’s. My daughter has one. AND the promblem persists whether you’re using Word, Pages or Drive 1. It’s GOT to be fixed, but you can’t fix it, so I MUST buy another printer. 4:14 PM
sir it is not the printer problem4:14 PMJohn Marcus
You keep saying that with the proof to the contrary right before your eyes. 4:15 PM
sir if you want i can Escaltae the case to my next level of support and hope we can get the issue resolved4:15 PMJohn Marcus
THAT should have been done a year ago. 4:16 PM
Just a moment. 4:16 PM
thats the best i can do from my end as of now i can Escalate the case to my next level4:18 PMJohn Marcus
I jus tneed it fixed, Sir. That’s all. I spent the money on the machine and it will NOT do what it’s supposed to do. 4:19 PM
give us some time to fix the issue 4:19 PMJohn Marcus
Sir we will get back to you with the update on the issue4:20 PMJohn Marcus
Well, it’s only taken a year so far. How much longer do you think it will take? 4:20 PM
we are not sure about the time but will update you soon 4:20 PMJohn Marcus
Please send me an email with this entire chat. Thank you.
