I've just installed Gallery2 to host all the photos from my daughter's wedding. It works great, but I'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a UK-based photo printing service integrated into it. <ul><li>Does anyone know of a UK photo printing service that works with Gallery?</li><li>Has anyone tried any of the services which <b><i>are </i> </b> integrated (PhotoAccess, Shutterfly and FotoKasten) from the UK? If so, how would you rate the price, quality, speed of delivery?</li><li>When I tried PhotoAccess and Shutterfly, both of them gave me error messages. Has anyone had the same issue, or know how to fix it?</li><li>Is any other TCH user interested in a UK based photo printing service (such as KodakGallery) from Gallery2?</li></ul>Many thanks - Rowan<!--content-->
Have you checked the <a href="http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:User_Contributions" target="_blank">user contributions</a> over at the Gallery 2 website? There is one from Germany for sure. Don't know about the UK specifically.<!--content-->

Hello Sylvest,<br /><br />Congratulations on your daughters wedding, I know the problems of having lots of photos to print afterwards!<br /><br />I eventually put the ones I wanted onto a CD and took it to my local Asda's who where happy to print them all off and I must admit I very well done.<br /><br />JimE<!--content-->

Hello Rowan,<br /><br />I have to admit to not knowing a way. My suggestion would be to look at things like bonus print who offer a free album online where people can upload pictures and also have them printed off.<br /><br />I realise that this means you do not have a final copy, but I am unable to come up with a solution for gallery, sorry.<br /><br />Edit - I have found this link, worth a shot... h**p://gallery.menalto.com/node/7961<br />JimE<!--content-->
