    nip onto ebay and buy the 91-in-1 card reader. Bought one last week for my canon which used 8 gig class 6 cards.
    GOOGLE it before you ask, you'll often save yourself a lot of time. ;)

    No they are not HD
    Is it because I bought them in Canada?

    No. SD cards above 2gb are usually SDHC (High capacity)
    The formatting is different due to technical memory addressing reasons.
    It may be that the camera can read SDHC but the printer only reads standard SD cards :)

    You can still use the mini usb lead the the camera to PC. Lexmark is not my favorite printer manufacturer, in fact it not on my list at all...
