Thank you!

Yes, I agree that it would really be best if they let you print from whatever platform you use. I guess the companies that make them (HP, LG, Polaroid, etc) don't want to spend the extra money on additional software development.

I wonder if the Canon Selphy (Amazon) would work better for you.

Surprisingly, it's actually cheaper than the Polaroid Zip right now, but allows for a wider range of print sizes and reportedly has better quality prints. It seems like it can print (wirelessly) from your laptop, and as a backup it seems you can plug your camera's memory card directly into the printer itself. And it does look like they have a couple different sticky paper options.

The cons?

  • The thing is enormous. While it is more portable than a regular printer, it's not what I'd call a "pocket printer."
  • Ink is required, which may or may not be a negative for you. It seems like the paper comes with "just enough" ink for the number of sheets. Some people advise getting extra.
  • It's unclear how or if you can print from a laptop while you're not on wifi.

    Hopefully that gives you a starting point!

While there are portable printers that directly attach to camera, it's a brand-specific thing. What you will find is portable printers that will accept an SD card, like this Canon. The problem you will run into is that the format/filesystem the camera likes probably won't be what the printer likes, so you can't just pop the SD card from the camera to the printer and print photos.

You might be able to get this to work if you save all of your photos into as low-resolution JPEGs as possible.

Any of you have the Canon Selphy CP1200 or CP910? I rarely print nowadays but wouldn't mind have a few pics of my daughter every now and then. I honestly don't have the room for a larger printer and if i'm going to do a ton of pics I'll just go through mpix but this seems like a fun solution for random prints.

I use an older model of this: https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Selphy-CP1200-Wireless-Printer/dp/B0195JC9D2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466603177&sr=8-1&keywords=canon+photo+printer

You can't escape the proprietary paper. However if you could, the manufacturer would just charge more for ink. I don't think the costs are ridiculous though.
