The DSC-T3 can be connected directly to the Sony DPP-EX50 Picture Station photo printer (or any PictBridge comatible printer.) This is a personal 4 x 6" dye sublimation printer that makes photo-quality prints with the same permanence as regular film photos. (Note: Sony W1 camera shown here)

Plug the regular USB cable into any PictBridge compatible printer and you can make photo prints without need of a computer. Here are the screens shown during a PictBridge printing session.
