Printing Photos From Your Mobile Phone
If your Bluetooth-enabled camera phone is full of snapshots you’d like to see in print, a Bluetooth-enabled printer may be your answer.
You’re out and about and you find yourself in the middle of a scene that you just have to capture on (digital) film. Do you stop and dig around in your pocket for your camera? Do you even have your camera with you? Maybe not. But you most likely have your camera phone. So you snap the picture with your mobile, and there it is. In your phone. What’s the next step? You can beam it to a friend’s phone. You can download it to a computer. And now that phone companies and printer manufacturers are embracing the world of Bluetooth, you can make a quick, easy, good-looking print.
Although camera companies are quick to espouse the high pixel counts of their latest offerings, the truth is that you don’t really need a 10-megapixel SLR for quick snapshots, even if you plan to print your pictures. In fact, you can make a high-quality 4 by 6 print with only two megapixels. Two! And now that phone companies are installing higher-quality cameras in their products, two-megapixel camera phones aren’t that difficult to find.
Printer manufacturers are also aware of the upswing in camera-phone photography. In response, many have integrated Bluetooth technology into their machines. This means that if your phone supports the Bluetooth Printing Profile (BPP), you can wirelessly send a photo straight from your phone to your printer, and end up with a hard copy to hand to a friend. (Just keep in mind that BPP support is an important detailjust because your phone offers Bluetooth doesn’t mean it supports everything Bluetooth can do.)
If you’re printer does not offer Bluetooth technology you’ll find that many photo printer manufacturers offer optional Bluetooth adapters that plug right into the USB port on the printer.
