Does anyone know of any program that lets you print files on your Pocket PC to a network printer? I have HP Mobile Printing, and it lets you do that, but I'd like a program that also lets you print a web page (I have an h5555, with built-in WiFi, and sometimes there are web pages that I'd like to print but just can't because HP Mobile Printing doesn't let me). I don't really need Bluetooth or IR printer compatibility, just network printer compatibility. Oh yeah, and I already tried PrinterOn (www.printeron.net), but I couldn't figure it out, and after the 60-day trial is over you have to pay a monthly fee. I would prefer a freeware program or a program that you pay for once (hopefully not very much money) and you never have to pay to use it again. Please reply if you know of any program that might work for me!

You can try ActivePrint (http://www.pocketwatchsoftware.com/Products/ActivePrint30/).

There is a 7-day trial for you to sample so you can decide whether it's the right program for you.

You can try PIE Print from Field Software (www.fieldsoftware.com). It is designed to print directly from Pocket Explorer.

Thanks! I downloaded and installed PIEPrint, and it works great! I can print any web page I want now! (It can't print java stuff, but then again, I don't need it to! If worse comes to worse, I'll just find a Screen Capture program and save the captured image, then print the captured image with my HP mobile printing program.)

Actually, here's a nice screen capture program that's free, compact, and does not hog resources on the PPC: GetPDAScreen (http://www.newmad.se/software.asp)
