Abstract
In a projector image printing system, a projector receives an image, projects the image from the projector, and communicates the image from the projector to a printer. In an embodiment, a projector includes a graphics connectivity to receive an image from an information handling system (IHS), a projection system to project the image away from the projector, a graphics capture system to capture the image as a data file, and a communication system to communicate the data file to a printer. In another embodiment, a method to print an image from a projector includes receiving a print instruction from a user, converting a projected screen by the projector to an image, and sending the image to a printer.
