How can I get professional-quality prints if I don’t have a photo printer?

Use the Buy Prints Online feature on the Photosmart Express Menu (see Buying prints online” on page 30).

The camera does not turn on.

Install new or recharged batteries, ensuring that the batteries are inserted correctly (see Install the batteries” on page 4). If you are using rechargeable batteries, ensure they are rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Reset the camera (see Resetting the camera” on page 34).

Ensure that the memory card is the proper type (see Storage” on page 44). If so, remove the memory card and turn on the camera; if the camera turns on, turn off the camera, install the memory card, turn on the camera, and format the memory card (see Install and format an optional memory card” on page 6).
