22:22:24 # Life Using a printer as your SD card reader. Canon MP810 is a USB-connected multi-function printer, which works as a scanner and a printer. I verified that it works as a scanner through sane, not yet tried printing from it. I was a bit surprised to see that when I pushed a SD card into its slot, it showed the SD card through USB. It works as a USB SD-card reader. A bit too big for that purpose, but cool.
