In addition to the printing capabilities described in this chapter, you can print images directly from a memory card, a digital camera or other storage device. You can also print from a supported Bluetooth device, such as a camera phone or personal digital assistant (PDA); and use scanned images in printing projects in the HP Image Zone. Windows users can also print to a network-connected remote device.
