How do I download pics onto my computer using an HP Photosmart E317?

You don't need any special software.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use Windows Photo Gallery or any other photo cataloging program, such as Picasa.

If your digital photo frame supports SD card, then that wil surely work!

Get a separate card reader for downloads.

The E317 uses MMC and SD cards, from SanDisk or any other maker. The manual recommends SD cards, as they are faster than MMC cards. The manual also states that only cards up to 1GB in size are supported.

Hello and welcome to FixYa

Please go to a electronics store and buy a USB card reader. I bought one last week and it cost $0.5 so its cheap as dirt. Then simply remove the card from your camera , pop it into the reader and the pictures will appear on a drive like a flashdrive in your my computer folder.

This is a much better option than using the camera's cable as it is faster , safer , saves on your camera battery and you don't need to install any software or drivers.

The card reader will most likely also still be compatible with any new camera you buy in future.

Kind Regards

I'm guessing this US website will do you:

Pick which operating system you're using the it will take you to the available drivers and applications for your camera and computer combination.

The E317 uses MMC or SD cards. MMC cards are getting hard to find, but SD cards should be available at just about any department, electronics, or office-supply store. Make sure you get an SD card, 2GB and smaller, and not the larger SDHC cards.

Yo can serach it in the driverguide.com am sure they have driver instead.

but don't worry here is the driver: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=445953&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&submit.y=6&submit.x=9&lang=en&cc=us
