Why print mobile phone photos?
Don’t let those candid moments fade away! HP Photosmart printers make it simple to print your camera phone images.
Thanks to the improvements to today’s camera phones, capturing a quality, candid moment has never been easier! Your mobile device is a virtual slideshow of memories and events, ready to be printed and shared:
- Weekends with family and friends: There’s no reason not to frame these memorable events in your family photo album.
- Candid shots of children or pets: Sometimes the cutest moments happen when you least expect it!
- Nature: When you always have your phone with you, there’s always the chance to snap a shot of a stunning sunset or that first crocus in spring.
And, with an HP Photosmart printer, you can print those digital images at home, saving time and money. Read on to find the right steps for transferring your photos and you’ll have a frame-ready picture to share in no time.
Connect your phone and print your photos
Some camera phones support the use of a memory card, such as a Mini-SD. Others can connect to your printer using a USB cable.
The HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One allows you to upload and print photos from your camera phone using your phone’s Mini-SD card and a card adapter.
There are different ways to connect your phone and transfer your photos onto your computer—some even allow you to transfer them directly to your printer, PC-free.
- USB cable: If your camera phone supports USB connectivity, you can connect directly to select HP Officejet printers via the in-printer USB port located on the front of the printer.
- Memory card: Some camera phones support the use of a memory card, such as a Mini-SD. Depending on the memory card size, you may also need a card adapter, which are widely available at stores that sell mobile phones and electronics.
You can then transfer photos directly to an HP Photosmart or HP Officejet printer using the in-printer memory card slot.
You can use both methods to connect your mobile device to your computer and transfer mobile phone photos onto your desktop.

Tips for printing high-quality photos from your phone
For the best photos, keep print size proportionate to the number of megapixels your camera phone supports. Learn how megapixels affect photo and print size.
For the best results, use Original HP ink and HP photo paper, which are specially formulated to work together for brilliant, long-lasting color prints.
Use these tips to help you create print-worthy pictures to share with friends and family:
- Learn about pixels. A top-quality 4" x 6" print only needs about 2 megapixels (and a good-quality image needs even fewer)—well within the range for most camera phones. Some camera phones come equipped with over 10 megapixels of photo-taking power. Learn more about how megapixels affect photo and print size.
- Avoid taking a blurry photo by stabilizing your phone. Place it on a secure object, such as a table or a stack of books—even a fence post.
- Edit before you print. Improve your smartphone images with an affordable application such as Photogene, which fixes underexposed pictures on your iPhone.
For the best results, use Original HP ink and HP photo paper. HP ink and HP photo paper are specially formulated to work together for brilliant, long-lasting color prints.
