I figured that there should be printers on the market now that had these capabilities. I see that there are printers that allow you to hook up, say, a digital camera directly to it and "preview" the pics on an embedded screen - so I thought that there should be printers that would allow you to hookup a Flash Drive or something like that, and preview documents. But the printers I was looking at on amazon.com (though I didn't look at all of them) only mentioned digital camera and (IIRC) cell phones/blackberries as connectible devices - not memory drives. The info on these printers also didn't make any reference to being able to preview documents - only photos.

I also noticed that more and more printers are boasting "wireless" capabilities - and at this point, I'm leery of anything wireless. Could it be that these companies assume that people would prefer to print documents using a wireless command - rather than use a memory stick, so they build these printers with wireless capabilities but with no real option for printing docus from memory sticks?

Maybe I need to do more research. (The time/energy I've spent trying to figure this stuff out has gone toward trying to figure out a "safer" computer to buy.)
