Print with your PDA

Many new printers and cameras come equipped with the PictBridge printer-camera connection standard. It is a way for the camera to print photographs directly without using a computer. It is based on USB (The printer acts as a USB host).

My PDA has a USB port. I would like a driver to allow me to print documents and photographs using the USB port on my printer. That way, I won't need to buy expensive Wi-Fi cards for it, I can just use the USB cable that it came with.

I don't understand why you'd need to buy a WiFi card to somehow replace a USB connection nor how that relates to Pictbridge.

Can you not just add an SD/MMC or CF card to the pda and then print from that card?

Not all printers have memory card slots.

I haven't seen a Pictbridge printer without card slots but I admit I haven't paid attention much.

Isn't this just a "let's all" per the help file?

This is a new innovation for a type of computer, not a "let's all!"
