Nikon 7900, 5900 Printing via Direct USB Connection, Before Printing, Use a Reliable Power Source

Printing via Direct USB Connection

Your camera allows pictures to be printed directly from the camera using Pict- Bridge. If the UC-E6 USB cable is used to connect the camera to a printer that supports PictBridge, pictures can be printed directly from the memory or the memory card without having to be transferred to a computer.

1 Choosing PTP in the USB option

Set the USB option to PTP in the Interface menu of the Set-up menu before connecting the camera to a printer ( 66).
