I want to print pictures that are on my computer but my printer is crappy, and was wondering if I could go to a place like Wal-Mart with the pictures on a CD and print them out. I want good quality pictures, not grainy ones. Any ideas?

Yes.. I suppose Wal-mart would have this available. I know for a fact Walgreens offers this service. Just bring in a CD of all your pictures (you can even bring in the memory card from your camera).
They are fairly inexpensive to have your pictures printed up - and blow away anything you can print at home. Even if you had a real high end printer - the cost of paper and ink is vastly more expensive then simply dropping a CD off at Walgreens.

Wal-Mart, Target, and some pharmacy stores (like Walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid) have machines that you put your memory card in and print pictures off of the machines. You can also edit and zoom before you print as well. The pictures are printed off in high quality and look just like they would if you used regular film. Also, Kodak Easyshare has some kind of program where you can email the pictures from your computer to them and they will print them and send them to you by mail. My mother-in-law uses this technique which costs less but still makes beautiful pictures. If you print you pictures off at Wal-Mart or somewhere like that though and they still look grainy to you, it might be the mega-pixel on your camera that is causing this problem. The higher the mega-pixel the better quality (less grainy) the picture. One more thing too, with picture editing software sometimes you can change the clarity/grainyness of your pictures so that you can print from home. One tip when printing from home though, make sure in the printing options that it is set to BEST or PHOTO. This helps on coloring and clarity. If you have anymore questions feel free to email me at baby_duck_2004@yahoo.com. I hope I could help!

I like taking my pictures to Ritz Camera when a have lots of pictures to print. I use to send them off to Walmart but there color quality has been sucking lately, but it could just be my particular location. You can do a search for online photo processing companies. I believe Photobucket does. Shop around.
When you have the time and cash, I recommend the Epson or Canon series printers. I also print my pictures through Photoshop, Nikon, and Kodak software at home. Hopefully, this helped you! Good luck!

ONline print shops, you need to look around, but i have some advise.
Lustrial paper or water proff prints is key. Most online print shops are competative, but some places like walgreens, walmart, CVS have a online print shop where you send images then select a store and the you can pick the prints you want form your CD.
Take care

well you would only get grainy pictures if your picture is bad to begin with. if its under exposed most of the time that creates it. the only thing a photo lab can really mess up is color or density. meaning you look like aliens and have purple skin which most labs will correct if you demand it and density meaning too dark or too light. but graininess is a picture taking problem dude.
secondly if you just want 4x6 pictures just send them online to target or snapfish.com or any place like that. they come out fine and they mail them right to your house. no having to make a cd just a few clicks of your mouse and hopping online.

Go to Walmart.com
You can upload your pics from your computer right to Walmart's website, tell them how many prints you want and of what size. The website will tell you if your pics are big enough to produce a good quality. They will have them ready to go when you get to the store. It works great and they look professional. And it's much easier than coping them to disk and taking the disk to any store. Good luck.

High quality prints can be made from your CD at almost any photo store, that is, a store that deals exclusively with cameras and related equipment.

make sure that if you want it larger, the resolution is already really high. For something poster size, it should be at least 300-600 dpi - higher if it is already particularly small.
