A system for providing print functions via a camera interface. The system enables selecting print options via a cameral interface by interacting with an image preference file. In an embodiment, a user initially places a memory card in the printer's card slot. If the card does not have an image preference file, then the printer creates one. The image preference file is specific to the printer and contains a list of options offered by the printer. Next, the user transfers the image preference file to the camera. The user can then use a menu presented on the camera interface via the image preference file to select various options for each image to be printed. The memory card is then inserted into the printer again where the printer accesses the image preference file. The images are then printed according to the options selected by the user. Next, a printer display presents a message asking the user if they would like to reset the file. If the user ignores the message the file is left as is. If the user chooses to reset the file, an empty image preference file is stored on the card.
