Printing with PPC with IrDA

[Hakle]

Did anybody ever printed a document directly from a PocketPC to an infrared Printer?? (not via Desktop!!!)

yes, using the free utility from HP which works with most newer PPC's and includes drivers for all HP's IrDa printers: http://h20022.www2.hp.com/busprod/LCoverview/0,,series=238131%5Etype=13037%5Ecategory=64180,00.html?lsidebarLayId=79&rsidebarLayId=235

Thanks for response. Unfortunately my printer is I think a Lexmark. (can't check - not home right now). But this is a least a beginning. I thought already, that printing isn't possible at all from Pocket PC to Ir-Printer. Thx!

Printing is quite possible over IR. That HP print utility actually supports more than just HP printers and supports, infrared, bluetooth, and wi-fi in terms of printing. Having tried both it and PrintBoy, I'd definately have to reccomend it as it gives you similar features for free.

I like to print, but my freeware HP program doesn't work :? :cry: (using a Toshiba e310+HP Photosmart P1000). Perhaps (or at least I read somewhere) a reinstall will work, I just didn't try that yet... :oops:

I too had to remove/reinstall the utility (twice) to get it to work properly, after the first time removing/installing, I did a warm reset and installed, then it was O.K.

I also have the "search" mode turned off for other IR deveces in IR recieve.

I use PrintPocket on both the iPAQ and the Axim it does the job just fine for what I use it.
