HP Photosmart M22 SD card requirements

[MichaelWP]

Preface to say, there were no camera or other digital media capture devices enumerated from the boards, so maybe DVDT is the best fit, I do not know... Anywho...

Q: what are the SD card requirements? I am trying to load my adapted 32 GB microSDHC, and cannot be formatted on board. Reading mixed details about the specs, 16+ GB should be supported. In a couple other places, amazon for instance, "up to 1GB supported" which means what, I need to disk partition the SD card? Have also verified the adapter is in the UNLOCKED, presumably writable position, which it is. Any advice would be appreciated...

Other responses for similar products indicating along the lines, "Please use smaller capacity SD cards, say 2GB or 4GB or 8GB. It does not know SDHC cards."

From the manual itself, "This camera supports memory cards up to 1GB. A high capacity card itself does not affect camera performance, but a large number of files (over 300) does affect the time it takes for the camera to turn on."

So much wrong about that statement. Evidently does not support beyond 1GB? First off. Secondly, that HP would consider that "high capacity", which is clearly laughable given today's available capacity.

But back to the original excerpt, define "does not know", please, and does that include, ostensibly, probably, for the M22. Does not know 1+GB, or rather, DOES know up to 1GB? i.e. indeed needing to partition.

Oh, and then should also clarify, in what file system? FAT32?

Thank you...

So AFAIK the question pretty much boils down to, how to partition, and in which file system to format. Note, in addition to W10 diskpart, I also have access to Ubuntu via WSL2, so I can do Linux partitioning and formatting, if necessary, i.e. if any of the FAT family of formats will not work, i.e. FAT(16), FAT32, exFAT, etc.
