Hi Douglas, the PictBridge options are typically a function of the camera, so the D90 may not support the time stamp function and that is why it's grayed out. Check the camera manual to be sure. I also suggest you inquire at dpreview's Printer and printing forum. You'll get a lot of good printer help there. Or you can call Nikon tech support.

Hi Gail
I have a PictBridge printer (HP Photosmart Plus B209a series) and a Nikon D90.
I can use this function, however i cannot enable/add a time stamp to the photos i want to print, as this feature seems to be greyed out?
I have been hi and low over the net trying to find some help, so was hoping you may know a trick to using this feature or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance – Douglas

Shannon, any printer that is PictBridge compatible should work with your camera. Some of the more popular brands of printers are made by Canon, Epson, HP and Canon. Make sure you get a photo-quality printer. The more ink cartridges, the better. For example. a printer with five cartridges (including black) will print more pleasing photos than one with four cartridges.

Hi Gail, the printer didn’t come with a double ended USB so I bought one to connect it to my computer. But the computer doesn’t even recognise that the printer is connected. I’ve tried everything…

Sushi, I suggest you go to a site like Amazon and type in Pictbridge printer, and you'll have many to choose from. Most printers are pictbridge compatible today. Or just do a Google search. Just don't get a printer that's too cheap, or you may end up spending a lot of money on ink cartridges. Get a printer with the most ink cartridges you can afford because then you only have to replace the ink that is gone, instead of replacing one cartridge that has three colors in it.I bought this one for a family member; very inexpensive and does an adequate job but, as mentioned, ones with more ink cartridges do better.

Charlotte, Pogo printers are blue tooth enabled and Pictbridge compatible. Your camera isPpictbridge compatible to, so they should work together. Double check at the place of purchase before buying, or contact Polariod. Here are tips at the Polaroid website.

Hayley, it comes with a USB cord which should be plugged into the computer. If the printer came with software, be sure to install that first and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the software and printer driver is installed, transfer the images to your computer from the camera and then print the images via the software. You’ll need a card reader for that.
