   DON"T DO IT, you could kill your Digital camera, as I did.  The pin outs
on the HP digital cams are different, it can reverse poles, + to - , or over
load the cameras cpu with way to much voltage. I have a HP potosmart 7350
and it FrenchFried a Vivitar 3826 VivaCam.
   The printer still seems to work ok, card reader too. Thank goodness the
vivitar was only a week old and went back to get replaced, with no problem
from the company.
