using my printer for my memory card as a removable disk

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question, I'm sorry if it's not.

I have a digital photo frame and I want to put the memory card in my printer and then drag the photo on the icon on my computer, I hope that I have fairly well explained!

I use Windows 7 and my printer is HP PHOTOSMART 5520

I've done it before, and it worked fine, so I don't understand why it won't work this time.

I put the memory card into the slot, my printer is connected wireless to my laptop, can someone help me please

Kind regards

Janet Davies

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.

  • 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:

    but you can start from your SD card using a USB card reader

    But u should create this card as bootable,

    and make your bootable SD card, then use it.

  • Storage/not using the printer for a period of time extended

    I have a Photosmart 6520 printer which is not used for a period of 6 months each year.

    The last time, I removed the cartridges and stored in an airtight container. When the reactivation of the printer, it has no print at all, but after many attempts to clean and/or align the print heads, he is slowly back to normal operation.

    My question is: what is the best ink cartridges must be left in the printer or deleted during this period?

    It is best to leave them in the printer. Once these special cartridges have their orange shipcap removed, I always recommend to leave in the printer, if you go to the store for a while.

  • ya need to ready boost like thing for the video card memory

    an if there are something like that out there... where?

    I have the alienware i7 - up to 3.5 Ghz with 16 GB of RAM and 80 GB SSD. The laptop is fast enough.  But I still wanted to make it faster. So, I use card memory 32 GB as a readyboost. I found that speed up really. Before using readyboost, it is best to ensure a speed reading / writing of USB or the memory card is high, otherwise you will have not the advantage of readyboost because the bottleneck of folklore.

    In my case, I used the class 10 SDHC memory card for my readyboost. The memory card is still able to take 3D videos and capable of storing video shooting 3D. My conclusion is don't blame the blessing of readyboost, just you have to find the right type of memory/USB with your existing laptop / computer.

    Use readyboost and enjoy the best performance

    There is no registration for my memory card reader in Device Manager. The card reader does not work. SD card works in my other PC.

Is there a way to shake the player in a localizable device? Or is it dead material?

    Hello:

    If there is that no device Base system not listed in Device Manager in need of drivers, then the unit is completely dead/disconnected from the motherboard.
