5 Using the printer dock with a computer

Printing from a computer

We recommend using Kodak EasyShare software (included) for printing. This software lets you take advantage of a wide range of features, including full-color enhancement, red-eye reduction, picture organization, and much more. To install your Kodak EasyShare software, see Installing the software.

If there are no pictures on your computer, use the printer dock to transfer pictures from your camera or memory card before printing (Transferring pictures from your digital camera).

Printing with Kodak EasyShare software

  2. Click the My Collection tab.

  3. Select the pictures you wish to print.

  4. Click the Print at Home tab.

  5. Make sure the printer dock is selected as the current printer.

  6. Change any other settings, such as print layout, then click Print.

    NOTE: The Picture-size button on the printer dock is disabled when printing from a computer. Set printing options using EasyShare software.
