Put your camera memory card in the appropriate memory card slot on your printer, and I bet dollars to donuts your printer will read the images, present them in some fashion on your LCD screen, and let you print them. But if you see some odd little slots on your printer, you may discover how easy it is to view, edit, select, and print images without touching your computer. Slots are more rare on black and white laser printers, and high end corporate printers. Printers vary in their support for different memory card readers, of course, but almost all ink jets have memory card slots to support easy photo printing. There are at least two easy ways to print on many modern printers without a computer: memory card reader slots, and PictBridge. Like so many things we learned growing up, that truth has “matured” to the point it's almost an untruth. Everyone grew up with personal printers attached to personal computers, so we naturally believe a computer must be part of the printing equation.
