How to upload photos from memory card to computer on new Officejet 8500A Plus?

I recently replaced an older HP psc 2410 photosmart printer with a new Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer.  The installation went fine without error messages, and it prints, scans and copies just fine.  When I insert a memory card into the slot, the printer itself recognizes the files and displays them on the LCD screen and offers to print them.  BUT ... what I want to do is upload the files to my PC (running Windows XP), and I can't figure out how to do it!  There is no HP program that pops up and offers to transfer the photos like with my old printer.   I was also expecting to see the card slots shown as a removeable drive like I did with my old printer, but I don't see them.  Also, my Photoshop Elements program doesn't recognize the card slots either.
Then it dawned on me that my computer doesn't "see" the card slots because it's not connected directly to the printer!  I set this up as a wireless printer and I am totally new to this, so pardon if this is a dumb question... but is there no way to transfer files from the card slot to the PC in a wireless setup??  I'm totally confused...
This question was solved.

Hi,
If your printer is connected thru network or wireless network, you have to access it thru the IP address.
Find out the IP address of the printer. You can do this by clicking on the network icon on the front panel of your printer.
Open Windows explorer and type \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the printer.
You'll see the memory card slot there.
You can do a "map network drive" to it if you want your printer card slot to be listed there permanently.

    iCloud doesn't offer general file storage.
    You can save files to iCloud from iCloud aware applications in the save dialog of such apps.

    You can't upload to a memory card.
    You can connect the iPad with your computer and then go to (this) Computer see there your iPad as external drive, open it and look for the maps with photos to copy them to your computer.
    Otherwise you can use free Dropbox to transfer and share your photos wireless to your computer and others;

  • How to upload photos from computer to camera memory card?

    I want to copy a few select photos and AVI files from the Organizer back to a new camera memory card.

    A new message was posted by Colin Walls:
    how to upload photos from computer to camera memory card:
    Open Organizer. Then open Windows Explorer [My Computer] and navigate to the memory card "drive." Drag the images from Organizer to the memory card.
    Dear Colin Walls:
    Thanks for your excellent tip. It works just as you said. The WHY I want to do this is:
    when I want to print a lot of pictures, I take my memory card to Longs Drug store and use their "machine." Naturally, I want to have all the photos I need on the card.
    A few days ago at Longs, I edited about 75 photos of a recent family reunion from my 512MB SD card taken with my Canon PowerShot A510. I ended up ordering 198 4x6 prints. My daughter had several good reunion photos on her digital camera. She e-mailed me seven photos as attachments, thus they were on my computer, but not on my memory card, until I started dragging as per the hint from Colin Walls.
    Windows Explorer shows the file structure on the card as one DCIM folder, with subfolders 155 CANON, 156 CANON, 157 CANON, 158 CANON, and CANONMSC. I proceeded to drag each my daughter's seven photos from PS Elem. 4 Organizer to the folder 158 CANON, except that I dragged one to the folder CANONMS, by mistake.
    The good news is that Longs machine and PS Elem. 4 both see ALL the photos on the card. The bad news is that my camera does not see the added photos, nor does the Canon ZoomBrowser 3.2 and 5.5 programs,nor the Picasa2 program.
    Thanks Colin. Gary Docherty

    How to upload photos from elements 9 to Revel

    There is no direct link from PSE 9 to revel the way there was to photoshop.com. Revel didn't exist when PSE 9 was written and there's nothing in PSE 9 that can understand or connect with Revel. You are not going to be able to do everything you could do with photoshop.com, like keep your catalog synced. You use a web browser and find your photos to share exactly the same way you would if they were not in the organizer at all.

    Here’s my question,
    I have a new HP Photosmart 7520e all in one. I put my memory card in the slot but the printer screen does not show my computer as a destination option.  I'm using Windows 7.  Nothing at the computer end acknowledges that the card is in the printer slot. The computer is wireless hook up. How do I transfer pictures from the card to the computer?
    Thanks support team. My old HP Printer pooped out on me and I just got this new one hooked up. I have a card full of pictures I need to move into “My Pictures” but so far, my new HP doesn’t want me to. Stainless909

    My computer does NOT have a card slot or I would have use it to start with. Next: This sentence doesn't make any sense to me. (youyr answer) "You can map the card to network drive but why you have to do that hard ?"  I don't understand "maping net works".
    All my previous (4) HP printers had card slots (as this one does) but when I put my card in the computer would read it and ask me if I  was ready to import them and I picked the destination ... click on "import" and it happened. This one.. nothing happens on the computer but the printer screen gives me a choice of destinations (snapfish & usb cord) but does not offer an option of moving them to the computer. Are you not understanding my problem????  Would this be better resolved with a phone call? 951 769-8420 Thanks Bruce aka... Stainless909

  • How do I remove photos from memory card after I have uploaded photos?

    We have iPhoto 11.  How do delete photos from a memory card after they have been uploaded in to iPhoto?
    Thanks.

    delete the iPhoto preference file
    HOWEVER a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    If you continue letting the computer delete your photos you will lose them sooner or later
    You pays your money and makes your choice - but you are playing a very risky game with no rewards

  • Unable to upload photos from SD card to iPhoto

    I am no longer able to upload photos from my SD card to my iPhoto Library.  In the past I would see my SD card on left hand margin to click on and no longer do despite reinserting card or my own troubleshooting efforts (restarting mac and closing down other windows and trying to create a new album)
    Also, I am unable to even view the photos as I have been able to in the past.
    Would appreciate any assistance in getting this problem fixed so that I can continue to add photos to my library.
    Thanks

    Thanks LN.....I am able to view the photos through FINDER through the DCMI folder and then drag them into a new album I create on iPhoto.  It is a bit more work but at least I have a way of doing it.  I wish I could do it the way I did before and don't know why I am encountering a problem all of a sudden.
    If there is a way you think of that will allow the SD card to be accessed directly by iPhoto again and you can walk me through it I would appreciate it.
    But for now I am THRILLED to be able to at least get my pics imported into iPhoto for viewing and sharing.
    As far as reformating the card do you think that will resolve my problem and how exactly do I do that??
    I have a kodak Easyshare M341
    Thanks to you and TD for your help.....

  • How to upload photos from pro to online website

    Hi there-
    I just got the Mac Pro with Retina and haven't had a chance to do my 1:1 yet.
    I'm trying to upload photos from my library to an online website to make cards, but I can't do it.
    How do I do this?
    TIA

    The Costco website probably needs you to export the photos out of iPhoto to a regular Finder folder before it can find them.
    iPhoto does provide a way to print cards through an Apple server or share it electronically to any of several social media sites, but it does not interface directly with Costco.
    Can the Costco site pull photos from Flickr? That's one of the places iPhoto can export to.
