<a href="http://www.fieldsoftware.com/PIEprint.htm">http://www.fieldsoftware.com/PIEprint.htm</a><br /><br />Field Software, the Pocket PC printing power house, has released an add-on application to Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) called PIEprint. With PIEprint you can print Web pages directly from your Pocket PC using Infrared, Bluetooth, WiFi and serial connections. Field Software is one of the most awarded Pocket PC software companies. Among developers their PrinterCE SDK has set the standard for how to add printing abilities into applications. So while you head over to download the PIEprint trial version, be sure to check out the PrintPocketCE (Pocket Excel, Pocket Word and e-mail printing), PocketPixPrint (image printing) and the PrinterCE SDK too! <!><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/pie_01.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/pie_02.gif" /><br /><br />• Print Sizing: Some HTML pages are too wide to fit on the printed page. You can select "Shrink to fit to Page Width" to print a "too-wide" HTML page. You can select a custom resize percentage to force printing a page smaller or larger than designed. <br />• Print Range: Allows you to select a page range rather than print all pages of an HTML file. <br />• Number of Copies: Set if you want to print multilple copies of the print job.<br />• Print Header/Footer: Prints header containing HTML page title and page number, plus footer containing URL address and date/time of print job. <br />• Reduce Text Size: Some HTML pages print with the text larger than desired. Selecting this option reduces all text sizes by about 1/4. <br />• Quick Print Button: If you have previously selected printer and other options ... you can tap Quick Print to use current printer and paper selections to begin printing right away.

Wouldn't you say it's time for a systemwide print solution rather than application specific printing?

Why don't they intergrate that with printpocket which they already have. So that means I have o spend $40 to use print pocket and another $20 to print from pocket IE? Hmmmm........ I don't think so.

Okay, it's been about a year since this thread started. In that time, I wonder if people could share what good/bad experiences they had with pieprint and say, printing over a bluetooth connection. I'm curious...
