Hewlett-Packard created the Snapfish Web site with one purpose in mind: printing photos. Snapfish doesn’t disappoint. It makes ordering prints online easy for you and easy on your wallet.

The steps for ordering photos from your Snapfish albums (Section 6.7.2.1) are similar to the steps described for the other services. You choose your photos, specify the size and quantity of prints you want, and provide payment information over a secure Internet connection.

Simply log onto your Snapfish account, and then follow these steps:

1. In the Get Started box at the upper-right corner, click “order prints.” In the next window, select the album that contains the shots you want to print, and then click “open this album.”
