Sony DPP-FP90

After installing the Windows driver software you can print to the DPP-FP90 from any windows application. Elegantly simple, the driver software has only two tabs in Printing Preferences.

The first tab in Printer Preferences has options for Orientation, Page Order and Page Format.

The second tab in Printer Preferences has options for Tray Selection (even though there is only one tray) and printing in Black & White or Color.

If you select an image on the LCD and press the Auto Touch-up button on the control pad the FP90 will perform actions to improve the selected image. This actually worked rather well on most tested images.

Picture Motion Browser version 2.0 for Windows is included with the FP90. Our test printer did not come with the software so we can not review it. However Sony states that with "Picture Motion Browser, you can browse, edit, and manage still images and movies recorded with your camera or saved on your computer. With Picture Motion Browser's calendar view, you can browse your images automatically organized by the recording date and time. You can also print out images, or send images by attaching them to an e-mail from Picture Motion Browser."
