My printer is a Dell Photo 926 which I bought with my Dell laptop. I installed it with a software which came with the printer. That's all I know. I don't know what is a card reader. Additional note : I did replaced it with a different printer which got fried during a power outage. I then re-installed the 926. Oh. I did a few download of pictures from my digital camera. That's all I can tell you.

My printer has a Pic Bridge slot, a SD/MS/xD/MMC slot and a CF slot. I never inserted the camera's memory card into the printer. I downloaded the pictures directly from my camera to my laptop via the USB cable which came with the camera.

OK, thank you. Still a puzzlement : when I installed the printer , it was Dec. 2007. I made regular check of disk space by clicking Computer. I did not see the F drive until a week ago. ???

Maybe it's the UBS camera connection. The camera has the memory card so it might appear as the removable storage. After you disconnect the camera USB connection, try Scanning for Hardware changes in Device Manager and then see if the drive has disappeared from My Computer.
