How do I print my pictures directly from the camera to Canon's Digital and Bubble Jet Photo Printers?

Canon's newer PowerShot cameras are capable of printing directly to the (optional) Canon CP-10 and/or CP-100 Digital Printers. Some can also print directly to select models of Canon Bubble Jet Photo Printers. You may select which photos to print and how many copies of each photo. You may print the photos on credit card sized sheets (CP-10), 4" x 6" cards (CP-100), or standard Letter/A4-sized, photo-quality media on the Canon Bubble Jet Photo Printers. It is highly recommended that you use the ac power adapter while performing printing operations to maintain sufficient power to communicate with the printer.

The camera communicates directly with the printer through a cable that comes with the printer. The CP-10 and CP-100 digital printers print the photos in 300dpi resolution using dye sublimation technology with a protective UV overcoat to preserve the prints. The printers are also capable of printing using DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) printing instructions from the camera. Options are available for printing the date and file number on the photo, and for cropping an image prior to printing it.

Different model cameras have slightly different procedures for setting up DPOF instructions and for printing photos. For specific instructions for your model PowerShot camera, refer to the appropriate Camera User Guide at the pages indicated:

*These models (except the professional model --black -- PowerShot G2) require a firmware upgrade (available at http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/BeBit-e.html) to be compatible with the CP-100 and/or Bubble Jet printers.
