The EasyShare printer dock plus series 3 (hereafter the s3) — that lower case name is intentional, we’re told — has an unrememberable name to go with its unforgettable performance. But it’s descriptive. The $180 s3 is really a combination camera dock and a printer.

The documentation that comes with the s3 is not extensive and, unfortunately, support at Kodak’s Web site is minimal, although you can download both the driver software and firmware. This review, happily, covers those operational tidbits that are hard to find otherwise.

What makes Kodak’s EasyShare printers special are the added features. The camera dock that can charge your camera’s batteries, run a slide show on your TV, and use the camera’s LCD to navigate the printing system makes this an easy sell if you’re also buying an EasyShare camera. But it’s also a compelling addition to your wireless network, providing a 4×6 photo printer to anyone on your network. And its small size and independent nature mean it can tag along with the camera (even an ordinary PictBridge-enabled one), not the computer.
