Re: Another example why Vista is a piece of crap

Posted September 9, 200816 yr

most modern printers have card readers and they show as removable disks

As I saw yours does have one

"Print from compatible memory cards: The memory card slot lets you print

photos direct. No computer needed!1"

the card readers are made for taking the memory stick from a digital camera

and inserting it in the printer

to print directly OR/AND transfer files from the stick to the pc.

this is totally normal.

Vista is shit but lets insult it for the correct reasons ! LOL
