Direct Printing 5 x 7 with Kodak C7330?

Kodak has an 'easy share' direct printer, and there are a couple of
others, but my 'computer-illiterate' step-mom wants to be able to do 5 x
7 inch prints at home, and does not have a computer.

I realise there are a number of printers that will do so, and hope you
may have a recommendation as to which I should be looking at.

Out of curiosity (as I have only printed directly from my computer) are
there any that allow cropping on the pics?

.... and do they print only via camera interface, or can you interface a
CD on any?

Thanks for your attention!

Greetings Paul,

I am afraid Kodak does not offer a 5x7 general use printer for Dye
Sublimation. There are professional models but I am sure you Mom does
not want same.

Rather, at this point, you might look at the Inkjet printers that are
out there. There are some higher end models with review screens and
cropping options etc. Your Mom could use one of those along with her
camera. In many cases they are pictbride compatible so will work with
any pictbridge camera. Of course removing the card and inserting into a
builtin card reader is the most likely option. I don't know if they will
offer a larger size printer, but there will be some fanfare if they do.

Let me know if you need any help.
