Printing dated photos

I have a Canon A80 camera that embeds date/time info in the image file. How can I print this date and time info embedded into the photo using Adobe Photoshop 8.0?  If Adobe Photoshop does not do this, is there any reasonable way of doing this?
Thank You Very Much!

Are you saying there is an associated text file with each image file that contains the date/time info? If so, take this text and copy and paste it into a text box in photoshop, positioning it where you'd like. Other wise, there is no compatibilty between your camera and photoshop. You may want to check into what kinds of software Canon has available that coresponds to your camera. They might be able to do what you want.

Hope this helps,

Every photo taken with modern digital cameras have the date and time embedded into a photo file.  To view the date and time info in Windows, you could right click on the file and go to Properties.  The question is how to make the PhotoShop embed this information into the photo file before printing or at the time of printing.  Of course, you can write anything you want on the top of the file, but for obvious reasons, it is not a good solution.  For example, imagine doing that for hundreds of files.  Also, in cases where you need to present a dated photo as a proof of something, it would not be a good idea to stamp the date and time information by yourself.  These two cases I’m dealing with.
Yes, you can print photos with date and time info to a printer right from the camera using a special cable, which I don't have.  Neither have I such a printer at my disposal.  I want to find a third party shareware solution of doing this.  I hope either PhotoShop or some third party shareware software does this.

Thank You
