Transferring and Printing Images

NOTE:

If you connect the camera to a non-HP printer and

encounter problems with printing, contact your printer

manufacturer. HP does not provide customer support for

non-HP printers.

TIP:

In addition to the method described in this section, you

can print images directly from the camera using one of

the following methods:
• If you have an optional memory card that has images

stored on it that you want to print, and your printer has

a memory card slot, remove the optional memory card

from the camera and insert it into the printer’s memory

card slot. See your printer’s manual for specific

instructions.

• If you have an optional HP Photosmart M-series dock,

you can connect the camera to the printer using the

dock. See the dock User’s Manual for instructions.
