transfering photos from phone to print

[suzie1]

what do i need to do this, i have two phones, one is sony ericcson and the other is samsung, both have pics of my children, that i want to print or take to the digital photo thingies to get printed off, how do i do this between the phone and the digital machines............do i need any sort of equipment?

how would i do that, do i need a wire or something

First thing I'd try is going to the photo printing booth and ask them.

Some will let you simply bluetooth the pictures direct from the phone, also there is a good chance the pictures are already on a memory card in the phone that can be removed and plugged into the printer.

if they can do neither of the above then start worrying about getting them onto your computer (yes you will need a lead unless your computer has bluetooth)

Try Amazon UK -Bluetooth dongles are quite cheap here....There is some mobile brands mentioned with one model 'Lupo' which may include yours. If you have an Apple computer- bluetooth is built-in. Otherwise you may have to find PC software.

Do either or both of your phones have a microSD card in them? If so, either take that to the photo booth or get an adapter and put the card in your computer where it will be recognised as a Removable Disk.

i checked amazon and seen what i think i may need, but i wont know how to use it, how does it work, also i have no microchip sd card in my phones, but if i got one for both phones, could i transfer the photos onto it? thank you

On my Mac- all I do is plug in the bluetooth dongle which activates the software then all I do is initially allow it to search devices eg. my model of mobile,,,, right-click any compatible file (mp3 or jpg) & select 'send to' bluetooth. It also works the opposite way -mobile to my computer....

If your phone has bluetooth and your pc has bluetooth, you can transfer photos (via bluetooth) from phone to pc and then print.

Am not aware of any printers with bluetooth that will print directly - but new innovations come up everyday?

In Boots they have the Kodak kiosks. These will take a bluetooth signal form your phone and print the images.

I've got a USB lead which fits between my phone and my computer, it opens as a D drive and I can just cut and paste them from the phone into my Pictures folder on the computer.
