How to use your printer as a memory card reader

Have you ever wanted to open the files in the memory card reader, on the printer, with the (Windows) computer?

Is the printer connected via Ethernet or wireless?

* If the answer to both of these questions is YES, then this is the solution for you.

First step: find the host name of the network printer

  • Print the printer Network Configuration report
  • In the upper field, more information, locate the host name of the printer

Second step: right-click on computer or workstation

Step 3: Select map network drive


 

Step 4: select an available drive letter

Fifth step: path or a folder, enter: \\hostname\Memory_Card , then press on finish or Ok

Now, you can open the assigned drive letter and find the files on the card memory or USB connected to the printer.

    Hello



    I understand you want to transfer your photo from your memory card on your computer using the printer, but at the moment, you are not able to.



    Here is an overview of the steps required to make this work:



    Map the network drive

    (1) turn on the product and make sure that it is connected to the network.

    (2) Insert the memory card into the slot of the player card on the product.

    (3) find the host name (network name) from the network configuration page.

    "Printing a Network Setup Page"

    (4) on the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, right-click computer, and then click on map network drive.



    A network drive opens.

    (1) in the drop-down list player, select an available drive letter.

    (2) find the hostname from the network configuration page. In the folder field, type (without the brackets):

    \\(The Host Name You found previously in Step 3) \Memory_Card

    NOTE: Do not use the Browse button, or mapping may fail.

    (3) check box to reconnect to the opening if it is not checked.

    4) click Finish.

    Now, the network drive is mapped.



    Access the files on the memory card

    (1) the product must be on and connected to the network to access the files on the memory card.

    (2) on the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click computer.

    3) double-click the letter and host name of the reader on the printer.

    The images and the folders of the memory card will appear.



    Please let me know if it works for you, thank you.

  • How can I replace a 5 in 1 memory card reader in a HP Pavilion 500-027c desktop PC

    I bought a desktop PC computer given to nine HP Pavilion 500-027c Wal-Mart, 2 weeks ago... 5-in-1 memory card reader does not work... the Device Manager indicates that it works correctly, but when I put a memory card, nothing happens... The white light will come on indicating that the memory card has been inserted, but the computer does not recognize that something has been done... I would just replace the card reader itself... I see on the hp support where it is possible to replace the reader of card memory (before I/O), but I don't know where to buy the card reader itself real... I have no card on the card reader either... Help, please!

    Hello

    You can find a list of the parts for your machine:

  • want to 5530: printing from a memory card

    Still learning my new 5530 wanted.

    Now, I would like to know how to print from a memory card.

    I'm a little confused about how to insert the card.  Yes, I looked on the HP site, with illustrations, how to do this.

    I see that this map will turn.  Cards have printing on one side and points of contact brilliant (?) on the other.   I can't say which way to insert illustration.

    When I insert the card, will be the impression show on my left and connected to the right contact points?  I suppose that the end with the contact points would be first inserted in the printer.

    Again, hope this question makes sense to you.   I am an old-challenged person technically, but I'm trying so hard to learn.  My fear is that if I insert the card the wrong way, he would be stuck in the printer - so what to do?  Thank you!

    Hello

    You must insert the card with the impression should show right (the label should be directed to the input tray and bright contacts must point to the left, indeed the side with the contacts must be inserted first into the printer.

    You can view the following video, even if it is taken from another model that the card must be inserted exactly as shown:

    Microsoft did not your hardware - done HP.

    All support for it - regardless of your operating system - is the manufacturer of the equipment.

    Hello

    Since I upgraded my Satellite L670-DX1 of Win7 64 bit to Win7 64-bit SP1 (2 days ago) I can't use my memory card reader, he always says it is a bad card and I should reformat the card with any card.

    Does anyone have a similar problem or better yet a solution for me?

    You have installed SP1 using Windows update option?
    Have you tried to roll back the OS to an earlier time to see if the card reader is working properly again?

  • Windows thinks flash drive memory card reader - will not let me import the photos.

    I have Windows XP on my lap top. When I plug my USB memory card reader, Windows thinks that it is a flash drive, and if I try to open it, it just says: "insert in the drive. There is no drivers for the memory card reader - it was designed that way, I think. The memory card reader used to work fine with my laptop, but no more.

    Just guess... could this be a hardware problem?

    If you have more than one port... try USB to another.

    Maybe you can connect the camera to your laptop via
    USB cable and see if you can download your photos.

  • Digital Memory Card Reader - updated driver required

    Where and when can I get an updated driver for the internal memory card reader?
    I just tried to format a 8 GB Sony Memory Stick, but can only 3.5 GB format - after discussions with Sony and re-formatting on a Toshiba laptop not quite new, I reached the full format of 8 GB.

    However the Satellite cannot read the card :-(

    Published by: ADMIN

    Hi Martin

    Compatibility with memory cards depends on the available hardware and not software!
    This means that a update driver card reader won't help you!

    First of all, you should check your user manual to see which cards are compatible with your internal card reader!
    Generally, these details can be found in the manual pre-installed.

    Model of laptop you know me not, but I doubt you'd be able to use the 8 GB Sony Memory Stick. Perhaps the size didn't is simply not supported.
