I Didn't Know My Printer Could Be Used As a Card Reader!

[SuzyView]

Anyone else use their printer's CF card reader to download images to a computer? I never knew I could do that until someone showed me. Where have I been? Don't answer that. :o

Yup, my Epson 9?? does it, has CF, Memory Stick and something else. No SD, which my A570 uses. Think mine is a USB 1.1 format, so not real fast, but real convenient.

If I'm only dumping a few pix, I'll use that. If I'm over 500Mb, I go to the card readers.

That seems an expensive way to do things - inkjet printers use a little ink when they're turned on and off.

[mkuriger]

don't turn it off.

I print to my printer via a wireless router so I won't be using the card reader but I could.

Deffinetley. I have an old HP 8000 inkjet printer and I use it as a card reader...
