Hi John, I would do it this way:
A) Create a Folder on your Desktop name it for example "For The Printer". 1.In iPhoto, "Select all the photos" in the album that you want to go to the printer. 2.Choose File > Export. 3.Click "File Export" at the top of the Export Photos window. 4.In the File Export pane, change the desired options: Kind: Choose a file format for your exported images from the Format pop-up menu. (Depending on the source of the images, you may want to choose JPG to ensure compatibility.) JPEG Quality: Maximum Quality Size: Full Size (unless you want different) Name: Choose whether to export photos with their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name. Be sure to select the "Use extension" checkbox to add the file format extensions (such as ".jpg" or ".tiff") to the end of the photos' filenames, titles, or album names. 5.Click Export. 6.Choose a location for the photos you are exporting, (which is the Folder you have created on the Desktop), then click OK. 7.When the export is finished, quit iPhoto. 8. Insert your Thumb Drive 9. Drag the Folder (that contains your photos) onto the Thumb Drive's icon 10. When the photos have finished copying onto the Thumb Drive, File > Eject the Thumb Drive. You can then trash the folder of photos on the Desktop & empty the trash. You should now only have one copy of each photo on the Thumb Drive when you get to the Printers.
