Printers :: Printing

If you have a camera or a smartmedia card your dsl can talk to then just save your print job as a jpg picture file. This can be done using xpaint by going to: file,snapshot then draw a border around the part to print and save it as a jpg.
transfer it to a smart media card and put the card in a printer that can read smart media cards and print the picture file directly from the printer itself. Many cameras can be use as a smart card reader and are detected by the usb subsystem. Jpeg pictures can usualy be saved directly to the card.

Brilliant idea! On a similar note, you can save anything as a JPG file to a USB storage device, and then print from another computer; nice way to cross OS platforms/networks.

If your camera has flash memory why not just boot DSL from the camera itself?

...just joking..

I was thinking this should be in the tips and tricks maybe?

I can print on a fancy Canon Pixma MP800 that my wife has hooked up to the laptop downstairs with this technique. I have even seen some floppy to smartmedia adapters advertised. That sounds like it could work as well.
