Dose anyone know how I can get my digital photos to show the date on photos when I printed them. When I transfer photos from the Camcorder or from Cannon Power Shot A85 to my PC the date and time shows up on the PC, but the date does not show when I print them off the photos.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think it depends on your camera in the first place, I have a Sony cybershot W55 and it doesn't show the date on the images which is a bit of a pain allright.
 
The problem, I believe, is in the software you are using to print the pictures. The date information is stored with some other info in a format called EXIF as an addition to the picture. Your software needs to be able to extract this and put it in the picture.

Picasa, the free photo software from google appears to do this:
