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

My children and grandchildren are the reason, but it's the passion that drives me to get the perfect image of everything.

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.


shooting club VB and club soccer, hoping to get back to landscape work soon.

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


I am not young enough to know everything. O.W.
