May I know how do I print a word document just like in our desktop pc in the Pocket PC handheld?

I am using a Wireless (Wi-Fi) connection in my home to access the internet but I have problems locating the print function in Pocket Word. Must I need to install additional software in order to print?

Thanks! :D

There is no print function in pocket word, but you can download the HP mobile printing wizzard, do a search at their site (I would but it is so messy it makes me sick), and then you can add all kind of printers (you will be looking at networked printers once it's installed)

I followed all your steps in installing the HP mobile printing software but I can't locate the network printer shortcut, only the Bluetooth and the IR shortcut. I can't get it working.

You will also need to perform a few steps on the desktop with the printer if you haven't already. I haven't done this myself, but this is what I would try next. Make sure that your computer is *sharing* the printer.

I managed to print my pocket word as well as excel documents using the Wi-Fi connection to print using the PrintPocketCE, thanks!
The speed is extremely fast.
