Printing up a photo that is on my cell phone, question Login/Join 
Member

Moto G phone,
Go to Wal Mart they said.

The kid at WalMart wants to plug my phone in to access who knows what info.

Is there a way to get the photo out ?

I don't have a computer or wifi or Bluetooth or a printer.

Should I be this careful or not ?

One option would be to send the photo to someone else who does have a printer, and ask them to print it for you.

That could be done either by sending the photo file as an attachment to an email or by including the photo as part of a text message.

Seems like you don’t have much choice if you don’t have a computer, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a printer. I am only an iPhone person so I have no clue about your phone. Maybe there is a service you can upload the photo to in order for it to be printed and sent to you, but that is obviously more expensive. When plugging in an iPhone to a computer, pictures are the only thing you can access but again not sure if it is the same with your phone. Maybe just do it but ask to be able to observe what they do “to learn” ie watch their ass to make sure printing your picture is all they do.

Are you worried they are going to find your naked selfies?

You could use Shutterfly

Your phone has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. You should be able to connect wirelessly to the kiosk network or directly to their printer.

I'm assuming this phone currently has service.

Go to Walgreens website. You can upload only the photos you want printed, and then go to the store and pick them up.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

This is exactly what we do in the limited cases where we need an actual printed pic.

Looking at a map Henry County, ILL is sort of in the boondocks so a Walgreens may be a long or very long drive. I would suggest that he try the Walmart web site and see if they offer a similar service.

Looking at MOTO G phones the Operating System sort of eliminates a simple home printer so that option is off the table. Cheap printers today are Windows and Mac ready and any other operating systems results in lots of complications.


I've stopped counting.

Is there a CVS near you if no Walgreens? Email the photo to yourself, go to CVS.com and upload it there and pick it up at your local CVS. I believe they also have a ship option if you're not near them.

Walmart may also have an option to upload it online and pick up in store, but I've never tried to do it there so I can't say for sure. But give it a shot.

Target, CVS, WalMart all have locations with print services.

You should be able to use an app on your phone, setup an account, upload the photo on the phone and send it to a local store to print.
