Are there any freeware programs for printing from WM5/WM6 to a network printer? I only need to print once in a blue moon, and it's not worth it to me to buy either ActivePrint or Printboy.

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 think I may have settled on the final set of programs I need for the XDA2....
On today screen:
SPB GPRS monitor (nice even if You have unlimited GPRS)
Bluetooth Tools 1.1.0.0
Phone Dashboard (IP dashboard was better but caused the system to hang too much)
Pocket Plus
OmegaOne Journalbar with expansion pack
Other programs:
OmegaOne Calc-1 (great calculator)
ThemeKing
Pocket Controller
Resco Explorer & Registry editor
VO Shopping list
Pocket Informant 5.02 ( still not 100% sure) may try ACT or Fusion
So whats everyone's opinion? Am I missing something? or are there even better programs to be had?
Well great pack but i guess it just depend on oyur main exploitation of a PDA phone
some will prefer communication software for emailing browsing or connecting to their office
some other will use it to enhance navigation with GPS or trafic assistance software
some other my be more oriented in office suite....
or why not games, who knows.
But i m sure your right on one point there are a set of software that are significant for a pda phone
i think of gprs monitor, soft like pocket plus and BT tools of course.
my personnal softwares are
pocket plus
gprs monitor
BT tools
pocketirc
pocket informant with the PIToday plugin
ezwap 2.5 (cause i work in mobile site developements)
Tomtom navigator
and that is nearly all what i need
anyway you make me discover a new calculator i didn t know about thanks
That ll be great to have an exhaustiv list of all softaware and brands cause that 's not that easy to buy the right one, so small but so expensive
and sometimes i discover freeware that are much more powerfull thant sofwares i paid for.
Well that was my long point of view
cheers

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
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
Ok with my Sprint Mogul I was able to use my blue tooth to use my portable Canon printer. I was able to print my notes. I use Opera Mobil version and there appears not be be able to print things from the internet. I was wondering is there any program that would allow me to be able to print things or a means to print even documents etc. It would be nice to print my boarding pass from lets say Southwest Airlines and not have to set up my laptop. Anyone has ideas how this can be done?
Thanks
Chuck
