It is somewhat difficult to give a helpful answer as you do not mention what sort of image files are on the card and that could be the real culprit- If your camera produces RAW image files, then you cannot print from those - you need a format like JPEG of TIFF (as examples). Please give some more information so we can then help.

That card is probably too big for that card reader in the printer to read. You have to have a card reader that can read Secure Digital High Capacity cards. The most you can probably get out of the card reader on the printer is either 1 or 2 gb secure digital.

You might be able to get away with using the pictbrige connection on the printer and print that way as long as the memory card is loaded into the camera.

If that doesn't work you will have to get a card reader that can read SDHC cards.

Could be a corrupted driver. Try to uninstall and then reinstall with the latest driver from Epson. Personally I have always used Epson inkjets but I have had to replace 3 because the printer heads became clogged with ink. There is no way to clean the heads if it gets to the point where they no longer will spray. I now will only purchase HP inkjets because the heads are actually part of the ink cartridge, end of that problem.

Printer wont read SD cards does read sony memory

If it does not seat (fit) properly, why say the printer will not read SD cards? It certainly will read SD cards that are supported. You can still upload to computer and print from there as you suggested.

My smaller memory cards work, but my 4gb card says media error in my brother printer/scanner when I put it into the usb port (photo capture). Tried it dozens of time, doesn't work, but I was able to read...

Many older system will only support standard SD cards up to 2GB and HD SD cards will go above 2GB. It is a limitation of the printer and not an error with the card.

My printer (Canon MP830) will not read my memory card from my camera. an SD card. You can print straight from the card. I press "Memory Card" as the source on the top of the printer and select "Print while...

Did you let the camera format the sd card before you took your pictures? Have you tried another sd card? Its possible the pc did not close the card properly so the printer does not see it. I would try another card before going any further. Make sure your setting on the printer is set to read only (in "Other" settings) if at read/write you will not be able to print.

HP C5180 All-in-one : Memory Card Error, No memory card in it

  1. Remove the memory card from the camera.
  2. Locate the memory card slot on the product that is compatible with your memory card. Figure 1: Memory card slot locations c01331721.jpg 1 - CompactFlash (I, II) 2 - Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Secure MultiMedia Card 3 - xD-Picture Card 4 - Memory Stick, Magic Gate Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo (with user-supplied adapter), Memory Stick Pro 5 - Front universal serial bus (USB) port (PictBridge-enabled)
    NOTE: Some portable USB flash drives with a read-only partition, such as U3 smart drives, might be incompatible with the front mass storage port on your product. These partitions are added by the manufacturer and may include utilities and other software. Refer to the manufacturer for additional details about your drive.
  3. If it is not already on, turn the product on by pressing the power button (c01324469.gif ).
  4. Turn the memory card so that the label faces inward and the contacts face the product. Figure 2: Inserting the memory card c01335108.gif CAUTION: Inserting the memory card in any other way might damage the card and the product.

  6. When the memory card is inserted correctly, the status light next to the memory card slots flashes and then remains solid green. CAUTION: Never attempt to remove a memory card while it is being accessed. Doing so can damage files on the card. You can safely remove a card only when the status light next to the memory card slots is not blinking. Do not pull out a memory card while the light is flashing green.
Step two: Print the photo
  1. Press Photo Menu . A message displays on the control panel with the number of files found on the memory card.
  2. Press the right (c01185072.jpg ) and left (c01185108.jpg ) arrow buttons to browse through the photos on the memory card.
  3. When the photo number you want to print appears, press OK .
  4. After selecting the photos, press Photo Menu again.
  5. Press the right arrow button (c01185072.jpg ) to select Number of Copies , and then press OK .
  6. Press the right arrow button (c01185072.jpg ) to select Layout , and then press OK .
  7. Press the right arrow button (c01185072.jpg ) to select Paper Size , and then press OK .
  8. Press the right arrow button (c01185072.jpg ) to select Paper Type , and then press OK .
  9. Make any other appropriate changes to the settings, and then press Print Photos .

I have a HP Photosmart 7160 and a brand new Fujifilm digital camera. I took 4 pictures and tried to print photos. When I place the SD 4GB card in it reads "memory card error" on the printer. What do I do...

You are using a new camera with an old printer.
Check the following:
- Try using a 1 to 2 GB SD card. The printer may not be able to hande one this size.
- Try taking a photo, in a smaller resolution, and save as JPG.
- Try plugging in the camera to the printer and print from the camera.
And the best option, is to transfer your photos to your computer, and print from there.
Take a look at a program called "Thumbs Plus" it has worked well for me. http://www.cerious.com/

If you have lost your manual, see: www.HP.com/Support for other answers.

Why am I having trouble with my Epson Stylus Photo Printer R320 reading the new SD card that I recently purchased. Printer says that card cannot be used with this printer. ?? Is my printer now obsolete?...

At the time your printer was manufactured, it incorporates/uses what technology is available.

Things to consider, memory cards now comes in different capacity and speed. Your printer's memory card reader can't read cards that uses newer technology.

You can however use your computer's card reader if there is one or purchase a USB memory card reader to download the photos and print them from the computer.

This actually how I print photos since I can do a lot more before sending it to the printer. I use Picasa (free) for quick photo fix and effects.
