Well...im always trying to do something I have no idea how to do and this is not exception! :D I have a cable modem hooked up to a D-Link WIFI Router that connecting me to the internet through the D-Link WIFI card I have in my laptop. I have a hp printer attached to my printer. I also have a wifi card for my HP 2215. I have installed the hp mobile printing software and basically what I would like to do is print from my ipaq straight to my printer but I have no idea how to do that. I know there is a way to set up a network or something to share the printer but I am again lost. Can anyone help me? :mrgreen:

:twisted: BWAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: I figured it out!!!! My Goodness....five flipping days and ordering a A6 printer to infrared print later!!! I was trying my best all this time to set up a network connection with my printer then it hit me as I posted here..."hey, why dont you put in your wifi card and then try to print?" :roll: My goodness I can sure be an idiot sometimes! O well.....now I have the portable printer on the way...does anyone have one? I think its called a SPix A6 portable printer or something. I just got desperate and brought it.

See the "SiPix Mobile Printer on Sale for $29.99" thread (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13648) for information on the SiPix A6.

Won't it work better if you attach the printer to a computer? :mrgreen:

the A6 takes thermal transfer paper. Ew. that means you can't just print on regular paper. But then again, it's $30; what do you expect?

Canon and HP make portable battery-powered inkjets (i think canon's is the 70 and HPs is the 450, if memory serves) that can print on normal paper. My boss keeps a 450 in his car to print his eFaxes on the road from his Fujitsu P1000 subnotebook :).
