You're trying to print from a laptop to an HP digital camera? What model?

idk

What make and model frame?

Look at the memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

The image censor has been knocked out of alignment, this is going to require a repair at camera shop.

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO COMPUTER If your photos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

Had the EXACT same problem with the CW450 model. I called support because I was mad and wanted it replaced. The support tech helped me through the issue. The answer is- NiMH. Alkaline batteries are unstable and not powerful enough for use with this camera even though the camera supports it. He asked me what I was using and I told him Alkaline. He said try some NiMH right now- by dumb luck, I had a charger in the wall with nickel batteries. This is what he had me do:
Put the NiMH batteries in. Take out your SD card. Turn on your camera. Go to options and go to memory kit and format. Go to options and do a factory reset by selecting Reset All. Turn off the camera. Put your memory card back in. Turn it back on and go crazy with it trying to take video and pictures.
I have been messing with it for an hour now and it works perfectly. He told me to test it for at least 2 days and if it still malfunctions they will send me a new one. If the fix I shared with you didn't work call them up and work with them. 1-866-694-7633 if you are under warranty they will replace it for you.

SD cards top out at 2GB, and any of them may be used with the camera. Any larger cards are SDHC cards and will not work.

Remove the battery for 15mins. replace the battery then go to the camera's MENU and set the Date & Time.

You may use any SD or SDHC card. Personally, I'd stick with one of the major brands, but there's little to choose between them.One school of thought says get the largest memory card you can afford. Another school of thought says get at least two memory cards and switch between them regularly so that if something happens to one of the cards you still have half of your pictures.

The M407 uses standard AA batteries, rechargeable or disposable. If you want to use rechargeables, you should be able to buy a suitable charger at just about any department, electronics, or office-supply store.

The camera won't charge the batteries, and never try to charge disposable batteries in a charger.

1. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. 2. Insert the card and again, go into the menu and do the format thing again. Do not stop to select one of the choices the camera has offered before. Go straight into the menu and format from there.
