HI,
With my device, see below, I wish to print to a printer. A4
I wish to do this via blue tooth connection.
Please advise..
- Do I need software to do this on the device for Wm5 ? If so who provides this ?
- Can you recommend a nice compact ( small ) printer brand or model that will do this for me. One I can take with me on travel and plug into a wall.
Also it would be good if the printer has USB from device to printer as well as a back up.
Please advise thanks
Well after much frustration this is my story. I wish to print from device directly to printer formated MS Office documents rec'd by email attachments.
Firstly...
Printers choice >> ip90 Canon or the HP Deskjet 460wbt
I found this link say HP 460 performs better and longer.
http://www.hp.com/sbso/expert/competitive_460_vs_canon_ip90.pdf
Canon has a high demand on ink, and a lower dpi for text printing. What is more important you need software for device that supports the print and works.
Both www.amazon.com and www.cnet.com say ip90 is a better printer, but this is for notebooks and not PPC.
I purchased the HP Deskjet 460 with BT device. Set up on Com8 port for bluetooth, they dont tell you this.
Secondly, software selections
PrintBoy >> www.bachmannsoftware.com
ClearVue Suite ( Full version ) >> www.westtek.com
Testing printing on rec'd email word doc attachments with plenty of neat formats and graphics.
Thirdly my testing
PrintBoy
Did not print the word doc at all < I found out the reason why, as PrintBoy does not support print tables on a word doc, so PrintBoy is not 100% capable of printing word docs > , but it did print stuff that was very plain like text files. It has documentation to say the HP printer has been tested and confirmed to work. ip90 print not so confident. see here printer matrix for printboy here >> http://www.bachmannsoftware.com/PrinterMatrixWEB.pdf
ClearVue Suite prints native MS office files ( xls, doc, ppt) not WM5 pocket word or doc files. And it prints them very well. Prints them from email and device ok. But this software will not print plain text files. So you need both if you want full print functionality.
I did not consider ActivePrint as I wanted to print directly from device to printer without the need for a desktop pc. I am still looking at PIEprint and others ( ie http://www.fieldsoftware.com/default.htm ).
Hope this helps !
I have a WM5 device (Mitac Mio a701). I just pair it w/ bt printer (an hp 450 deskjet w/ the compact flash BT card) and i can just print, no need for extra software. It's been a while, but you either select print, or send the file.
Regards,
Jason

Just tried to beam a document to my HP laserjet 2100 printer using infa red but to no avail
any clues ?
I dont think you can just beam a file to a printer, you need a program that will send it to the printer in a printable format.
ok cruisin thanks
worth a go

Infrared printing with i-mate
I have no problems printing via infrared with a bulky hp laserjet 2200dtn (I go to my picure list or document list tap and hold and beam....) PROBLEM IS i CAN NOT SAY THE SAME FOR THE PORTABLE CANON bjc80. Can anyone offer a solution like say canon printer driver for pocket PC
I found this perfect portable photo printer on the web.
But it only have IrDA interface.
Do any one know Magician is compatiable to this printer?
How can I make my mini to be able to print through infra-red?
Thanks everyone
I've tested 2 soft for this purpose: HP Mobile Printing and KSE True Imprimer
One of this (I don't remember which one) can print only text (word, txt) and the other also images. I did it with an Irda Canon LaserJet and I worked perfect.
Now I don't have the printer anymore to make more testing.
Some photo printers are only compatible with photo cameras of the same company and I don't know if the Fujitsu is able to print other things than pictures.
Good Luck!
I've scan through results on the web, and sales opinions; it's for sure that can be used on a long listed of modern handsets(i.e. some are Symbian-based and some are properity laucher), most of them are SE and Nokia handsets.
I've also found some commerical software for WM2003se to enable photo IrDA printing, coz I'm not sure it will talk to the MP-100.
Hope someone have more experience on IrDA printing standard.
Thanks everyone ^^
I've scan through the Fijifilm website, it require infra-red device support IrOBEX profile
Does Magician support this standard in its infra-red port?
How to activate it?
Please help ^^
Thanks a lot

Dear Forum:
We have a C# application running on older Smartphone models
(MS Windows 2003SE for Smartphone) where both WM5.0 and PDAs
are "overkill".
The Smartphone gets input data from a barcode scanner via
bluetooth (SPP serial profile), forwards the data via GPRS to
a webserver which validates & replies with a beep + ascii-text.
Now, at the end of a transaction, we need to send ascii-text
not to the Smartphone display but rather to a portable printer
at the remote location - preferably also pushed out from the
Smartphone via bluetooth to the mobile printer.
The REAL snag is that 99% of the market only use PDAs so the
hardware manufacturers themselves have no drivers which can
be used on Win 2003SE Smartphone OS (only PPC/WinCE or WM5.0)
and consequently we need to find a workaround to solve this.
[A] Using FieldSoftware's SmartphonePrint which does allow
for bluetooth printing to some models, but it only can print
PIM elements unfortunately.
In that case, we thought of using the Smartphone PIM task
+ Notes attached to a Task, as the text to print, but this
mean we must create a Task+Notes on-the-fly programmatically
deleting any previous ones in the process, AND launch the
3rd-party SmartphonePrint sequence without user interaction!!
Does anyone now how this could be done simply?
Else, has anyone seen any other Smartphone 2003 print
utility from "way back when" ??
[C] Better yet, would anyone knows of any usable drivers?!?
so we indeed could integrate the printing to our C# application
(deployed from MS Visual Studio 2005 Professional), and bypass
the need for a 3rd-party software, which is harder to control
AND which would lead to resorting to end-user action...
Grateful for any suggestions, albeit in priority C > B > A !
Brgds,

==============================================================
PS-1:
There are two-three well-known 3rd-party suppliers of standard
software for printing from an older Smartphone such as Qtek8080
or imate SP3 - aka SPV/Xphone/SDA/SMT5600 etc, namely:
FieldSoftware -- www.fieldsoftware.com/smartphoneprintfull.htm
JetCet -- www.westtek.com/smartphone/jetcet (only IrDA!)
PrintBoy -- www.bachmannsoftware.com/pbce.htm (only MS Mobile 5.0?)
Although articles, forums etc. indicate that PrintBoy works on
both PDA and Smartphones, its CAB-file doesn't install on our
MS Win 2003SE Smartphone...
Repligo 2.0 for Smartphones looks like another method, but we
will have to doublecheck if the HP printing is possible for
the portable printers that are available... ???
www.cerience.com/products/smp/index.htm
www.cerience.com/docs/smp/docs/index.htm#Printing
There are a number of small portable mobile printers available
on the market, many conveniently eqipped with a bluetooth
interface -- these printers are ok for field-service printing
For a visual near-complete listing, see again:
www.fieldsoftware.com/PrintersSupported.htm
PS-2:
There is also ActivePrint for PDA printing while docked, and
it might work for Smartphones. However, it doen't really apply
for printing at remote locations (or in a delivery truck) using
small mobile printers,,,
www.activeprint.pocketwatchsoftware.com/news/2006.04.04.htm
Finally at www.print4mobile.com/Engine.htm we found a system
for printing more sophisticated database-driven report prints
which is a clear overkill for us at this stage, and still we
cannot see how they would handle the lacking mobile printer drivers...
Note:
HP has discontinued its Win Smartphone 2003SE package in late 2005:

However, here's a download link:
www.yse-uk.com/download/details.php?file=37
Do you have this printer ??
Can you print to it from your device ( ie from WM5), either via USB or bluetooth ???
What sofware do you use ??
- PrintBoy
- ActivePrint
Does it work print mobile word and excel docs ?
Please advise...

Thanks I'm looking for an all in one hp any recommendations?
Just remember to give the Model Numbers also Might help a little...
I have an Epson Artisan 835 and I print with the Epson Print app. I have not tried it with the Acer Print app.
I know the HP M1536dnf works with Acer print, as we have one at work.
I wouldn't recommend it though. HP printers usually rank at the bottom in terms of reliability. Oh and it's not a wifi printer. Network wired ones work fine for the Acer print app too.
I have a canon mx series 347 I think but I can't get any bloody app to print from it. So not really a recommendation but just a suggestion to steer clear of canon.
Steer clear of Epsons with the extermal Edimax print servers.
Acer print works beautifully for my home HP Deskjet F4580 (wifi printer) and work's Konicia Minolta Bizhub. Have yet out find any other printer app that works as well, actually.
I have a HP Photosmart 6510 printer. Paid 110.00 and really like it. Its a wireless Eprinter. You setup the printer with it's own email address. You can then print documents or pictures instantly from your phone or tablet or computer at home or across town or any where in the world. Go to the link below and you can view a demo. It also has individual ink cartridges that I can refill myself to save money

I have a rather old wifi printer.... it is a Brother HL-2170W
The app I use to print is called PrinterShare Mobile Print by Dynamix USA, LLC. I have the full version from the Amazon app store (when they gave it away for free one day) and it is great. printing could not be easier

Eprint is unique except it only works on a limited number of HP printers
