Memory card reading " card access error" when printing

Take the card to a Walmart and insert it into one of their picture kiosk machines. You can print the pictures or even make a CD of them.

Sure your card reader can read a memory stick? Because most card readers only can read SD cards.

I wrote up an explanation, See here for details

Alright Alina ... try this out turn off the printer ... disconnect the power cable of the printer ... press and hold the printer power button for 30 secs ... plug the power cable back in and reinsert first a different card and if it reads the printer is fine try the card containing your father's funeral back in see if it works if it doesnt ... try plugging the card in a pc if you have .... if the pics do appear try connecting the printer to the pc and printing or doing whatever you want... the reason may be the printer is not able to hold the amount of memory on the card .....

Many older system will only support standard SD cards up to 2GB and HD SD cards will go above 2GB. It is a limitation of the printer and not an error with the card.

Previous solution is the FAIL. Original poster says it works fine in _camera_, but not in _printer_. _Printer_ is the compatibility issue, not camera.

will the card work in a computer?

You are using a new camera with an old printer.
Check the following:
- Try using a 1 to 2 GB SD card. The printer may not be able to hande one this size.
- Try taking a photo, in a smaller resolution, and save as JPG.
- Try plugging in the camera to the printer and print from the camera.
And the best option, is to transfer your photos to your computer, and print from there.
Take a look at a program called "Thumbs Plus" it has worked well for me. http://www.cerious.com/

If you have lost your manual, see: www.HP.com/Support for other answers.

Check the Sansa tutorials at http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1468
to make sure you have followed all the steps first.

In my experience, every mp3 player/photo frame/etc with a card reader has a MAXIMUM memory limit for the type of card that it can read. It is possible that the Sansa player can only read 2GB Micro SD cards or smaller - and thisi nformation may not have been available when they printed the manual. If you have followed all instructions, and it still will not read the card, try switching to a 2GB Micro SD card.

oh! too sorry for that..you have formatted your card and you cannot put the files back.. but after you have formatted it is the problem had been solved?
