Anyone managed to print over network with jetcet?

I have been trying to use jetcet with a network printer but it is unable to connect to the network (or see the printer). Can anyone help on this?
Thanks,

almost...
I got as far as getting a document into a network print queue then it jammed up the spooler "remote level download"
I didn't have much of a problem assigning the ptirinter though.
How far have you got?

I have tried to find my networked printer by using the 'search' button in the printer configuration process but I get the response network error. I have also tried to specify the printer by using the 'add' printer tab, specifying the make and path and then trying to print a test page, but I get the response no printer found (or something like that).
In short, I haven't made much progress....you are certainly ahead of me.

TRy direct addressing
I'm assuming you've turned on printer sharing already and shared the printer.
Enter the printer as \\hostname\printersharename
Assuming its a shared printer from a pc:
The host name will be in the full computer namer of the pc hosting the printer.
Right click on My Computer, Select properties, select computer name tab, look for the full computer name
Printersharename will be whatever you've set the printer sharename to be.
Select start/printers and faxes, right click on the printer, slect properties and loook on sharetab for name.
If you've done all that and still cant get the printer in try checking your windows firewall settings to ensure printer sharing is in the exceptions list.
If you've got thrid party firewalls they proably need configuring.

UHm ...interesting. How to configure to share my Epson Stylus CX5400 via WiFi router?
THX!

Thanks for your help inframan but I followed your instructions carefully and still I get the reply "network error" when I trey to print a test page.
Still open to any other suggestions,

Epson stylus hanging off a pc?
Stylus CX5400 appears to be on the list of supported printers so you should be able to add it in jetcet using the technique above to identify the share.

Yes, I have mapped shared drives using Resco explorer and easily transfer files and music, etc. Is there some other way to map drives besides Resco explorer that I should be using?

And it should work via WiFi too? Is wifi supported as well?

Yes, thats what I meant.
I have actually managed to use jetcet print print this evening via Wifi to an old Epson inkjet so it is possible.
Quality is lousy on the ancient inkjet though. Would really like to get it to work with my HP laserjet. I've sent westek a support request.

No just wanted to check you do actually have the basic network functionality worked out.
If you are accessing the network ok and setting it up as described then I'm afraid I dunno why its not working. I've only just managed to get it to work completely for me this evening albeit on a rubbush printer.
How much free memory are you showing?

I havn't played with it yet but sometimes PocketPC's have problems resolving NetBios names so try \\<ip address>\printershare. So instead of using the computer's name, try the IP address for the computer. See if that works for you.

I have tested several configurations but I can't get it to work. I am using a Netgear WiFi DG834GT Router and I can see my net with Resco Explorer...but I can't with printer application...
Any farder suggestion?

I have now tried everything suggested so far without success. Somehow I think my device is unable to see the network except through Resco explorer. I say this because when I use sktools to show network drive in standard file explorer I get the icon entitled Network but no contents inside.
Still hoping for some way to solve my problem. Thanks,

to check if you can ping etc? Netbios can be tricky its true.

PDANet tethering charges?

Just wondering, has anyone on Sprint who is using any form of tethering been able to confirm and charges for use with or without a PAM plan? I have tried ICS and PDANet and both work perfectly, PDANet claims to be "under the radar" to Sprint but I would like some outside party to confirm this

yep, pdanet fools the network to think that you are using the phone to surf (which is fine) and that means u DO NOT need the PAM plan.

Yeah I can confirm this. It works AMAZING! No charges. I wouldn't recommend downloading MP3's or anything like that because you don't want to throw up any red flags. In other words I definitely wouldn't want to ditch my residential DSL for this, but browsing should still be fine.

Hmm so Sprint know if you're using Internet Sharing App even if you ask it to connect to the Sprint Vision vs Phone as Modem? Well I'm keeping my fingers cross and hope that they don't I actually like that program, makes tethering so much easier.

i like PDAnet a lot, despite the fact that i have to soft reset my phone to get the PC app to see it
alau was referring (i think) to the internet sharing app in WM6, and said it was easy to use, i was basically stating PDAnet is just as easy (if not easier) to use

yep finally hearing you guys raving pdanet so much i decided to give it a shot and you know what... it's easy. the only reason why i haven't tried it sooner is because i only tether my phone to my computer on occations actually it's just to my carputer and since i don't have active sync installed on that it's kind of hard, but now that i know better
Thanks guys

Sprint knows if you're tethering using Internet Sharing. The point of programs like PDANet and USB Modem is that they mask the tethering so Sprint can't tell.

Sprint (and other carriers) detecting tether...
For info only... please verify these findings for yourself.
Sprint and other carriers use the NAI info from your handset to determine whether you're surfing from the handset or using another device to tunnel (or tether).
Disabling multi-NAI will prevent the carrier from detecting your usage type and should prevent any charges to your account due to tethering.
Instructions for disabling multi-NAI are available on the forum and the WIKI.
Cheers,
Mick

LoL im just waiting to see a huge charge on my next bill..... I was downloading video podcast, ..... about 1 gig or so this month. Both on phone, and using USBModem.. We'll see....

What version of USBModem are you using? The Mogul isn't on the supported devices list and Mobile-Stream told me they think it might work, but aren't sure. Also, does it work with BT or just USB? I know there were BT issues when it was released for the Treo 755p.

***IMPORTANT*** - Before you modify registry settings, make a backup using SPB backup or Sprite Backup. I tried to tether before changing the registry, and my internet got locked out permanently. I had to hard reset my phone because I didn't have a backup. If this happens to you (it will say your vision username and pass are incorrect, no matter what you do) then you can restore your backup and try again. You shouldn't have this issue if you change the registry keys and connect first before attempting to use the internet sharing app.
Here's the registry keys you need to change to hide that you're tethering:
get a registry editor like total commander, and go into
HKLM --> Software --> OEM --> Wmodem
Set every key in there (I think there's 4 IIRC) to zero.
This will disable tethering detection,and then you can actually go into settings --> connections --> Manage Existing Connections (under Sprint),and then change your default connection method to "Phone as Modem" instead of Sprint PCS.
after changing the registry keys and connection settings, you will want to soft reset, and then when your phone boots back up, you need to connect to EVDO by opening internet explorer. Once you are connected, you can close internet explorer, open the internet sharing app, change the connection from sprint pcs to phone as modem and then click 'connect' to start your tethering. It will do the rest by itself.
As a note, using the PAM as the default connection setting will give you a boost in download speeds as well, from what I've seen and what others have reported. Happy tethering!

I've seen this edit to disable NAI. Do they do the same thing, or is there a difference?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\WModem\Multi-NAI default is 1, set to 0(00000000)

Now that I look at it, there are three keys to modify... CheckProfile, Multi-NAI, and WModemDUN.
I am thinking that the CheckProfile key allows the phone to check your profile on sprint to see if you have the PAM service.
I think the WModemDUN is disabled by default anyway, and am not sure what it does. But I do know that I can connect all day now using Phone as Modem and tether with no issues and no additional programs to install

I checked my registry and you're right, there's CheckProfile, Multi-NAI, and WModemDUN. The first two are 1, the last is 0. So set the other two to 0 and tethering will be undetectable? I figured all programs like PDANet and USBModem did were change these values as well as provide drivers and/or a GUI, but I wanted to be sure.
I won't be tethering often, but I am going through a ton of data on the Mogul itself by streaming music all day long. I went through five gigs the first month I had it. I wouldn't want Sprint to see all that data, see some tethering, and then hit me with any charges or cancel my service.
Did you need to install any drivers for your Mogul or did Windows detect it right away? I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 for what it's worth.

Guys I go into my registry & for the life of me I can't find the WModem menu.
I get into SOFTWARE-OEM & bam there is no Wmodem.
I am using Regedit. & am clueless.
THanks for the help.

you need PHM Registry editor found here: http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
now navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\WModem
and set all the values to 0
ok, so if you disable all 3 then sprint wont see it as tethering then?

I am using regedit but the Wmodem is not visible on my device.
Found out what it was. I put the same regedit that i used on my smartphone & it is definitely different from the ppc version.
Thanks for the link.

x01ht may be different
The Softbank x01HT (HTC hermes branded for Japan) doesnt seem to have these reg. keys. All I've got is ChannelID.
I called softbank on this and, as expected, using it as a modem is "unsupported" but if I want to use it they'll be happy to charge me, despite my "unlimited packets" plan
Haven't trolled the forums for x01ht-specific solutions yet, but will have a poke around and see what I come up with.

Webview.exe webview.dll tell me how to get this to work

Can anyone go to this site and download the webview.exe file launch the dll module and show the controls for my security cameras on their pda or pocket pc.
I have tried this on the 700wx and also on the 6800 mogul. I like the mogul much better so I took the treo back.
I can get to this site from a regular size desktop and also my laptop. When you go to the site it asks you to download the webview.exe file and run it. This puts the webview.dll file (module) in the same directory that you downloaded the webview.exe file to; with no problems. It then launches the web interface with a login screen. You login to the server and look at the 16 cameras in real time. When I try with my mogul I get a message that says webview.exe is "not a pocket pc application"
I tried copying and pasting the webview.dll file to my mogul but I don't know where to put it or how to launch the webview.dll module.
the compression I am using to show the live stream is h.264 or I can use mpeg4.

Hmmmmm
I 'm on the XDA's developers site;I just knew all my questions would be answered by now.
Look Guys, I don't want to come off sounding like a pompous idiot who thinks he can prod u guys into doing his homework for him. It's just that I got this 6800 on recomendations that I had read in the forums and I really do want to keep this one.
I have purchased three phones in the past week. I started out with the Treo 755p took it back because it had the Palm OS I was sure that was not going to work, but the Sprint sales guy assured me this was better than the 700wx because in his opinion Palm OS was better than WM5. I played with it for two days reboxed and took it back, I switched it for the 700wx because it has Windows OS the best and newest thing in Palm. He was right; it is, if you don't have a need to see streaming security cameras.
I took it back to another sprint store because the guy had gotten frustrated and says to me He can not switch phones more than once. Hmmmmmm
In the past few days I have been reading the forums; I think it was at Treocentral, or somewhere and I came across one of those articles' "which is better types" TREO or Mogul, I went to the Sprint store in our super mall and I found a working display of the Mogul.
I played with the thing for about two minutes and was blown away. I said to my self I have to get this to work for the security web cams; but not just for the camera's; I want to offer this as a turn key solution to my client...He has a treo 700w. I know he is going to be pleased with this. The size difference in the screen; the sliding keyboard, I am nuts about this thing already....
I'm not talking about jpeg's refreshing every 5 sec; I'm talking live streaming video from 16 cameras with the option to control PTZ's
All I Have to do is get the Internet explorer part on the Mogul, to work with the camera's software request to download and install webview.dll I don't know where to put this file on the Mogul, I don't know how to put it on the Mogul (yet). Ihave only had the Mogul for one day
go to the site, and please help

if the exe was written for desktop windows its not going to run on windows mobile, simple as that, youll have to see if the company that makes the security cameras also makes a pocket pc app for them

It isn't a PocketPC application. And you are trying to run it on a PocketPC.
Won't work.
The only occasional exception is .net applications that sometimes work on a desktop and PDA.
What brand of camera are you connecting to? There are some apps out there for network cameras so I may be able to help you.

Good point!

I guess I was thinking about installing the webview.dll and that would have solved the problem. I am not sure about the software for the camera maufacturer they are from China, and not much info to go on...
When I go to the site: HTTP://70.63.106.214/default.ht
I get this msg: "To enable control work: Tools-> Internet Options-> Security-> Custom Level Reset to: low or Download and Install it
When I download and install the file; (webview.exe) it is a executable that unpacks webview.dll ver. 2.0, in the same folder with webview.exe.
I did not realize or I am not sure if the webview.exe is the program interface for the application to work, but now that makes sense. I thought the httpsvr.exe that is running on the DVR PC was the app for the web interface and would allow all this to work on any platform.
I guess if there is a way to decompile the webview.exe and make the neccessary changes to include the pocket pc header information; recompile it, test it, fix it test it again. then this would probably work. There is not enough information on the software manufacturers to begin trying to find a solution for this.
I have absolutly no programming skills. I realize now, that this may be a question for the developer/hack forum.
I would like to give it a try though. So if you can point me in the right direction; or if the Mods would repost this thred in the Dev/hack forum; maybe those guys would probably know what tools I would need to get started in this.
I appreciate all your help and it has made me think about the resolution, and the approach to my problem in a different way. Thanks

Full WM6 or 6.1 on Shift

Everyone,
This is one of my first posts. I have been reading the threads on this and cannot make heads or tails of what's going on. I have a Shift for eval purposes and after playing around with it, I think it's a pretty amazing device. HTC has crippled the phone capability in the US versions because they haven't certified it for voice use with the FCC yet. If we can access "file explorer" and some of the other features of WM6, I think a lot can be done to modify it or even to use it for voice. Has anybody made any headway as far as a new ROM that enables all of this functionality?

No
nobody has yet developed the crack. The reason is because nobody has the machine yet. Can u comment a bit about the battery life. Is it very disappointing?

well, now that several people actually have the device in-hand, could somebody please confirm that the ability to expose full WM6 exists as described by Pawel062:

hmm dont really understand the last part about snapvue. the snapvue for athena is snapvue from shift with a small mod to re enable the softkeys and start menu. it will work on shift and also re enable the soft keys and start menu making the shift's wm6 "Full" again

So Any luck running/installing any other programs on SnapVue?
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah

what about athena projects rom? that rom is actually from shift right?

snapvue is actually a today plugin pretty much. it hides the soft keys and start menu of the original wm6. then from the plugin u have access to messaging, settings, and other basic stuff.
this is ment so u use vista but with only 2hrs max battery on vista many people would like to use the less power hungry wm6. i am working with paul from modaco.com on re enabling the full wm6 by putting a modded dll that will unhide the start menu. after that ull be able to get into file explorer and get a reg editor to re enable the soft keys.
heres the challlenge:
--no usb port like regular htc phones to sync the shift and get the dll on their. only usb host
--no bluetooth in snapvue/wm6 side
--no wifi in snapvue/wm6 side
--no ir in wm6 side
--vista device central doesnt see the wm6 side
--cant save files from email to windows folder
and i cant remember now the other blockades. i will continue working on it though.

Seems like that there is some kind of file transfer, it uses it when you install a certificate in shift control center, but how to crack it open or replicate the process for other files, and then execute the file on snapvue site ....
Think its time for a "taskforce thred" where all info is posted so everyone can work on it.

Sounds a lot more difficult then I first imagined....
(No BT??? OMG! had no idea!)
Sounds like I have to be a bit more patient...
This doesnot sound like it´s gonna be solved in a couple of days....
It´s great that you´re workin on it guys!
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah

thanks Pawel062, I appreciate your efforts in trying to find a way to get this to work!

Just saw if you edit a contact and then try to attach a picture, you can browse the WM6 folders.
Unfortunately you can only see the pictures, because it's using the picture manager from HTC..

Silly thought: The miniUSB connector on the dongle formally is only meant to provide additional power to devices that otherwise would not be detected (External Harddrives etc). Would it be a silly thought to assume that the same miniUSB port could somehow allow us to access the SnapVue part? The miniUSB port is located at the back next to the cable leading back to the Shift.

I hadn't even noticed that.
I just plugged mine in for the first time, the only drivers Vista installs are for a Generic USB Hub and a USB to Ethernet Adaptor. There doesn't seem to be anything else hidden in there.

If anyone needs anything tested on a shift dont hesitate to ask. Full WM6 functionality would be greatly appreciated and would turn snapview from a gimick into a usefull tool.

OK so thanks to Michael who commented on Browsing using Contacts and Pictures, I managed to gain access to the Windows Mobile File Explorer and other software on the device.
First step is to create a new email.
From the menu Insert - Picture.
Using the browse capability go to the Windows folder
Locate Start Menu and press Ctrl C
Browse to Settings
Press Ctrl V
Go to Snapvue homescreen and goto Settings
Start Menu will be visible and you can then access File Explorer etc.
Hope this helps....

Excellent. I have sent myself the executable of PHM.lu's regedit, saved it into my documents, and am now able to access and edit the registry!

Great! Any possibilty to enable blocked things like office or is it not installed?

Also in my limited investigations, I have managed to almost access Windows Vista from the Windows Mobile side.
Using Resco's Explorer with its Network Access functionality, I performed the following.
Under Windows Vista, run the ShagCtrl application.
Install a Certificate, this can be any file you like.
You will see the progress bar appear and drop up and down. If you listen you will hear the sound of a new device being added.
Do NOT click OK when prompted as this will remove the device.
If you load up Device manager, you will see an "NDIS shared Internet connection" (or something similar) appear under network connections.
If you open CMD and run an IPConfig, you will see that this connection has an IP Address of 192.168.160.102 and a gateway and DHCP server of 192.168.160.1.
From the Windows Mobile side, load Resco Explorer and goto Menu - File - Network - Map Drive
In the dialog that appears, you should see Computers near Me (or similar) and under here should be your Vista machine.
If you share a drive, or select the Vista computer and put \c$ on the end, it should try to connect.
This is as far as it gets me so far. Was a late one, but I couldnt get it to actually connect.
So close yet so far.
In Addition, if you try to run a cab file it will error. This is because HTC have remove the Open command file association for Cab files.
Using your favourite WM registry editor goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cabfile\Shell\Open\command\.
Under Default type
wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete
cab files will now install correctly.
Hope this helps...

Hi,
I ama anew user of Shift. I am did not understand clearly what did you mean about full WM6 or 6.1. Knows somebody how can we have a full WM6 on it? Pls help me I really need a full WM6 system also.
Thx.

Ok, so I've accessed the Start menu using Vs1979s instructions, and I've found that Windows Live messenger is on the device and works ok. I'd like to try and install Opera, but I need a registry editor that isn't a CAB file in order to add back in the registry key to support CAB files - can someone point me in the direction of one?
Thanks,
Dave

How did you load Resco Explorer on Snapvue?

HINT ! - Access WinMo from Vista side

Just a hint for all the real developers out here.
in the Vista Part, one can click a button to "install SSL certificate to WinMo-side"
It's done via a button that can be accessed from Vista Communication Manager (Shift soft-key upper right corner, press advanced settings)
What happens there is that Vista connects to the WinMo side without setting up an ActiveSync connection. It has file access. It installs a certificate in WinMo.
So.. there's a CALL there that actually has access from Vista to WinMo.
Maybe people can dissasemble that part and do something really good with it ?
There IS access from Vista to the WinMo part without ActiveSync running.

Just a hint for all the real developers out here.
in the Vista Part, one can click a button to "install SSL certificate to WinMo-side"

please read more threads before posting one
my enter bootloader app (i posted a thread on that) accesses the WM part just fine without any activesync.
that happens through the EC driver (stands for Embedded Controller). you can do quite a lot with the EC driver (from changing various settings to getting ROM version, entering bootloader is just one of those things). though i would think that file sending works a bit different, but interesting, i'll look into that.

I should do better posts... I knew about your tool.
I just want to say that without ANY hacks whatsoever, there IS a connection between Vista and WinMo at "file transfer" level. Just like the hint I gave about the microphone.
I'm not a developer. I try to help guys like you with some remarks. A factory clean Shift does filetransfers via that button, somewhere my "gut" told me I should post about this , as I haven't seen any post addressing this "option" Hope you use it to our advantage.

oh i like your posts, don't worry about that part. it is an interesting discovery along with the microphone one. hope you'll make more discoveries
when i get my Shift i can try this out and look more deep into it.

update
I tried to send some files over to snapvue using this option
the progress bar completes, then vista says cert install failed. the files are not there in snapvue.

what kind of sertificates you tried to send to WinMo-side? Could it be traced what happens when you run this command?

not true certificates, mind you, I wanted a way to avoid using a sim card to send usbtool over.
what happens is probably the shagcontrol (yeah, I mean the shift control center but this name is funnier) starts communication over crappy udp protocol with winsock2 (1 try out of 5 failed to fully send and in general was very slow) to EC driver then somehow magically the bytes get sent over to WM. probably the WM IPC driver is responsible for receiving, no idea, haven't checked this yet specifically.
update though, if you create a folder named Certificate under Windows/Settings, shagcontrol will report that the transfer was successful and that you should switch to SnapVue to finish installation. bad luck though, SnapVue *****es about the cert not being valid, and I don't see the file anywhere (probably gets deleted automatically). I heard someone was able to get their hands on a file transferred in such a way but no idea how.

Could it be possible to create service that watches this sertificates folder and creates automatically copies of new files to somewhere?
I think that this sertificate tool is made for administrators and those sertificate-files are not meant to stay on any folder because then user could easily copy those sertificates to other devices. So there is possibility that we can not transfer files this way but maybe using same route to destination.

service, OK, the problem is you'd have to get the service onto the shift somehow.
what I wanted was fully eliminate the requirement of a sim card and usage of gprs/hsdpa to copy the usbtool over
though I guess if you really want that you can abuse the shared internet connection for file sending in the way danielherrero discovered, *but* not sure if that works with an invalid APN.

right, it gets under \Temp as user.cer, sometimes.
