Abstract
A digital printer is operationally associated with a digital storage medium interface and a graphic user interface to display and select images stored on the digital storage medium for local or remote printing. The graphical user interface includes user controls and an image display for displaying the images for printing. The graphical user interface enables a user to select, from, for example, a removable memory having images stored thereon, a subset of images to be printed. The graphical user interface is further adapted to permit communication via a network to a fulfillment center to enable remote printing and/or request photo products.
