Bluetooth printing

[G35Guy]

I am brand new to developing for Pocket PCs. I have been tasked with connecting via bluetooth from our pocket pc 2003 device (Panasonic CF-P1) to a bluetooth printer and sending it CPCL codes directly.

Could someone please point me to a good starting point for connecting using bluetooth and for sending CPCL print commands directly to a printer (as opposed to printing a word doc or text file). Google hasn't been of too much help so far.

I am using Visual Studio 2005.

Thanks much!

hey there,

i have previously printed from a Windows CE device 4.2 to a Zebra Bluetooth Printer. I used VS 2003 and the compact framework 1.1.

First of all i recommend looking a www.opennetcf.org (open source community for .Net CF development) they have a bluetooth library in the SDK, and i used this for connecting to & sending data to the printer.

I have already posts on that sites forum about how to connect to the printer

Once you are connected to it, you need to send CPCL commands to the buffer stream

If you have any other queries just give a post
