    Can I take my phone to Walmart and have a picture printed from my phone?
    Community Answer
    As of right now, I don't believe this is possible, but you should be able to upload a photo onto Walmart's photo site from your phone.

  • Question
    What if I don't have a printer?
    Community Answer
    Go to a library or your school, and ask if you can use one of the printers there. You can also go to a photocopying shop or an office shop. One of your friends may also have a printer that you can use.
