How about the camera mode? Mine require that a menu setting be changed to
directly connect with some printers, rather than a PC.
Some cameras have multiple settings for interconnection. My Oly has three.
The normal mode allows the camera to appear as a disk drive to a PC. The
next mode is used for direct connect to and control of a printer. Finally,
there is a remote control mode that allows a PC to control the camera if you
have the appropriate software and drivers.
