How does it work, and what are some of the disadvantages? What is Pictbridge? Pictbridge is a facility supported by some digital cameras and printers that allows you connect your camera directly to a printer via a Pictbridge USB cable.
If you are thinking of using this facility you should check to make sure your camera and printer supports this option. Why use Pictbridge? Pictbridge is a good way to print photos straight from your camera without the need to use a PC or Macintosh. Pictbridge is also a useful alternative to use if your camera doesn't support DPOF marking, or you cannot insert memory cards directly into your printer. There is no need to use a computer to print with a PictBridge digital camera and a PictBridge printer.
The PictBridge cord that comes with the PictBridge digital camera will connect the digital camera directly to the printer PictBridge port. Figure : PictBridge logo. PictBridge digital cameras and PictBridge printers support a set of specifications according to the PictBridge standard. However, support for options such as paper types and sizes, page layout, and other features varies widely among digital cameras. Some digital cameras may use a set of default settings while others may not display any settings.
The digital camera manufacturer determines any specific feature supported. When the PictBridge camera is connected to the PictBridge printer through the PictBridge cord, the camera and the printer exchange information so that each knows what the other can do.
The camera screen will display the images to be printed. The printer will initiate the print-job by retrieving the required details about the image file from the camera.
The printer will print the specified images and finally, the printer will notify the camera when the print-job is complete. The camera only supports direct printing over PictBridge. The DPOF file is a text file that instructs the printer to print certain images a particular number of times. Trending from CNET. Magic Camera Free to try.

Once a camera is connected to a compliant printer, print options appear on the camera LCD. The camera menu system is used to make settings such as print size, layout, media type and date. You can print a single image displayed on the camera, print two or more images or print all images on the memory card.
You can print part of an image by first cropping it within the camera and even create index prints, also known as contact sheets. If the printer has a memory card slot, use it and larger size prints should be available. To find out if a camera or printer is compatible, look for the PictBridge logo on the packaging or check the manual for specifications.
If still unsure, call the manufacturer! Wireless PictBridge allows a compatible digital device to directly communicate with a PictBridge Wireless LAN certified printer…no cables are required. No computer is required either since photos are sent directly to the printer from a compliant device such as a digital camera, camcorder or mobile phone.
To make sure, contact Sony. Check the camera manual to be sure. Or you can call Nikon tech support. I have been hi and low over the net trying to find some help, so was hoping you may know a trick to using this feature or can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance — Douglas. Shannon, any printer that is PictBridge compatible should work with your camera.
Make sure you get a photo-quality printer. The more ink cartridges , the better. For example. But I am look for photoprinter without the computer….. I was wonder if FinePix Z90 and photoprint …have the Pictbridge? Any idea? Most printers are pictbridge compatible today. Or just do a Google search. Get a printer with the most ink cartridges you can afford because then you only have to replace the ink that is gone, instead of replacing one cartridge that has three colors in it.
I bought this one for a family member; very inexpensive and does an adequate job but, as mentioned, ones with more ink cartridges do better. Charlotte, Pogo printers are blue tooth enabled and Pictbridge compatible. Your camera isPpictbridge compatible to, so they should work together. Double check at the place of purchase before buying, or contact Polariod.
Here are tips at the Polaroid website. Hi, i was thinking about getting a polaroid pogo printer but i have no idea if my camera would work with it. Hayley, it comes with a USB cord which should be plugged into the computer. If the printer came with software, be sure to install that first and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the software and printer driver is installed, transfer the images to your computer from the camera and then print the images via the software. Does anyone know of a way that I can get my printer to work either with my camera or with my laptop?
Very frustrated!! Thank you, Gail, for all the information. I really appreciate it. It appears to be a heavyweight in the AIO world with alot of features. You are more valuable to your families than the doctors and lawyers used to be, IMHO.
Thanks, again.
