Hello:

I'm looking for a universal printer driver for Windows Mobile 5 on the Palm 700WX Smartphone. The software needs to print via a bluetooth adapter from HP- Model BT450 to select HP printers.

Unfortunately, HP couldn't help. All they had to offer was an old bluetooth printer driver that only works with the Palm OS.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

I don't think you will be able to find a UPD for Windows Mobile devices. There are couple of applications that enable printing via Bluetooth and WiFi (I think).

If you have to get the info generated by your application printed, then you might have to convert it to text, RTF or one of the formats supported by these apps.

HP had a very good model for printing on Windows Mobile. They had something close to UPD, that would enable third party apps to print on WM. Too bad they are not supporting it.
