Digital Camera Photo Printer

My friends have a digital camera, but no computer. I think giving them the photo printer (like the EasyShare by Kodak) would be a great gift, but the ones I've seen so far need a computer. This may be a dumb question, and I am aware of that, lol.. but I'm hoping that it exists?

Thanks!

yes... look for a camera and printer with "PictBridge" capability.

http://www.digicamhelp.com/processing-ph otos/printing/pictbridge.php

"PictBridge is a standardized technology that allows printing images from a memory card in a digital camera directly to a printer, regardless of brand.*

The technology completely bypasses the need for a computer. Each PictBridge device is automatically recognized by the other.

The camera compares its PictBridge functions to the functions of the printer. The camera then displays the supported functions on menus on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder."


Many regular printers (for word processing, etc.) have PictBridge.. you don't need a special printer.

You hook up the PictBridge capable camera and Pictbridge capable printer via USB and print directly from the camera.
This will work whether you are using the camera's memory card or built-in internal memory.

It would be the easiest to get a printer that has a card slot. You pop it out of the camera and then pop the card into the printer's card slot - no USB connection needed.
For example, this printer:

As it says in the link, look for the "PictBridge" logo when shopping for both or ask the salesperson at the store/online retailer.

The logo on the outside of the camera and printer boxes will look like this:

If they have that, you're good to go and don't need a computer to print pictures.

The OP900 from Citizen is a high-performance dye sublimation printer that prints a 6 x 4 inch photo in just 8 seconds! Its robust build quality ...

I want to buy one of those photo printers that you just hook your digital camera up to it (or the memory card?) and print whichever photos you want but I have no idea which ones are good. I have a Sony Cybershot camera, I don't know if that's important. If you have a digital camera photo printer that is working well for you, I'd really appreciate any sharing of recommendations. :) Thanks

Would not want to buy a camera photo printer because of the cost of prints and the printer, but I do get great prints on my HP PSC (Printer, Scanner, Copier).

Ritz/Wolf/Kit camera stores do 4 x 6 digital prints for 5¢ each on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Also, have had great results from Snapfish.

Really like their photo sharing service and have received great quality prints and good prices which impressed everyone.

CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged and don't delete photos. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Then click Stop and OK.

I have the following photo printer & digital camera
SAMSUNG DIGITAL PHOTO PRINTER SPP-2020
NIKON DIGITAL CAMERA COOLPIX 7600

Everytime I connect the printer cable from the printer into my camera ready to print off pictures the camera instantly cuts out and remains blank screened and on stand by mode until I then take the cable out again. I don't have a clue why I cannot print my pictures it is the first time I have attempted to do so. I am not familiar with cameras. If anybody is able to help me please can you give me step by step on how i successfully print giving details to guide me. I am not printing using my pc in any way. The printer is specifically to print photos direct from the camera. Serious answers only please. Thanks

Well I hope you have the manual..The printer works by recieving data from the memory card in side your camera ..Some printers require the memory card to be taken out and directly put into the printer port then by accessing the power and print button on your printer it will print directly from the memory card of the camera..If that doesnt work try booting up the software to your computer it might have to go from the camera thru the dock port to the computer then from the software included to the printer by the print function on your pc....Hey I tryed to help...just boot up the software and connect the camera to the dock and the printer to the pc... see what happens try the memory card thing first..just remove it from the camera and see if it fits into the printer some where..it should say memory card slot if there the same brand..

My parents refuse to get a computer -they turn people into addicts, you know?- but I know they'd love a digital camera. Is there a way to use a digital camera with a photo printer without owning a computer?

Like others have said, at stores you can have prints made straight from the memory card. You can also hook most cameras up to a lot of personal printers. BUT:
* You need a computer to retouch your pictures, and
* You need a computer to store your pictures.
With film, you used to keep the negatives in a shoebox so that you could always have extra prints made. With digital, you save the 'negatives' on your computer. I mean, what are you going to do when the cameras memory card is full?? Delete everything? Have a friend put the pictures on a CD all the time? So it's possible, but you need to think about these things.

my mom loves her digital camera...loves taking pictures...usually when she wants to print her pictures, she goes to the pharmacy 5 minutes away....would it be worth it to get her a digital photo printer...does anybody have experience with one of these things?

this is the one i was gonna get:

I just priced HP paper and it is 20¢ per sheet in a box of 100. Add the ink costs and you will find that each print costs about a quarter each. She can buy them cheaper at the pharmacy. If we were talking about a home print costing a dollar and a store print costing 20¢, it would be a big deal, but it's not hugely different. It's not a big dollar item, either, so she'd save pennies and not dollars by using the pharmacy.

The pharmacy prints will be more durable, also, as the HP printer uses ink that will tend to smudge if handled improperly or if they get wet. They will probably also not be as color-stable over a period of years.

However... There is no thrill like taking a picture and printing it right away. I'd say to buy the printer as it would make a nice gift. She can use it to print stuff that she just has to have NOW when the pharmacy is closed and she can still use the pharmacy or an on-line service if she wants to print a bunch of stuff.
