universal printing not working - Omni Q&A

I have installed gapps-mini-modular, since that is all that will fit on the system partition. Installed HP print plugin and am able to find my network printer. However, none of the apps or drop down menus have a print option. Has anybody been able to make this work? If so, what am I missing?

Help! Cant print PDF's without this I am doomed!!!

I need to print PDF's to a bluetooth printer...i have tried printboy but it reformats my document and it is essentially unuseable...i tried clearview and the PDF is not visible unless I bring it into active sync first to allow it to create tags on the PDF.
Adobe Reader 2.0 for Pocket PC. I can view the document but the print button it greyed. What gives?
I would be fine with IR printing but it fails every time I fire a document.
Oh I have the Verizon 6700 version of the Wizard.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help I have been searching on and off for a week and it is driving me insane....
did you try following program?
JETCET PRINT
http://www.westtek.com/pocketpc/jetcet/
Yes i tried that software. I also tried it along with the Clearvue Pro. When I try to view the PDF in Clearvue it is blank. If I bring the same PDF in via Active Sync then it mentions that the PDF is untagged and if I would like it to attempt to tag. Once I run it through this I can see it and print.
The problem with this is that people in the field will be using this and they wont have access to Active Sync. They have to download the PDF and print on the fly.
Did you try using the adobe ppc pdf reader instead of clearvue? I think it is free. Also I think HP has some printer software/drivers. Dont know if it will work but worth a try.
Yes, I have tried Adobe Acrobat also the print button is greyed. I am trying to figure out how to activate it and have been on ADOBE's site in the forums but no one seems to know...also I tried to get the HP drivers but cant find them anymore. They say something on the site about discontinuing the drivers after Oct of 2005 or something.
If anyone has an idea how I can ungrey that print button or get the HP drivers it would be great. I can view my PDF perfect in ADOBE I just cant print.
Thanks again i really apreciate any help and I really need to get this working!

Hope it works for you.
Great! I am downloading now. Thanks a million I will let you know how it works out!
hp mobile printing won't work because you're running WM5.
You may want to try this. It's expensive, but it may work for you. It has a 15 day trial period too.

Ok well I installed it but it doesn't seem to install properly. It gives me an error that it may not work properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile. I am of course using Windows Mobile 5.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Any idea how I can get the "Print" button in ADOBE Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 active?
Weatheryoko,
I tried the bachmansoftware solution it is what I called Printboy. It does actually print but the problem is that its sends it somewhere forst where it converts the PDF. When it comes back down and I print it it completely reformats it all out of sequence. It doesn't "Paint" the way I had the report layed out...
I sent them an email this morning to ask them if they could pint me in the right direction as to how it performs this conversion and maybe that will give me insite on how to re-write my report so that the conversion wouldn't affect the content layout so drastically.
Haven't gotten any feedback as of yet from them

On the adobe site it says it works with bluetooth hp printers. Did you try to turn the bluetooth on the wizard on and pair it to the printer? Maybe you can pair the printer and phone using jetcet? Anyways these are some suggestions to try if you already havent. Good luck.
Yeah actually the funny thing is that I am using an HP 450 bluetooth printer...I can the jetcet application comes bundled with Clearvue professional (thats the only way it will print PDF as jetcet by itself doesnt see the PDF's) problem is when I open the PDF in Clearvue it looks blank...
I think it has to do with the fact it is an untagged PDF...
If i take the same PDF and bring it into the handheld using Active Sync it is tagged I can see it and print it...
It is super irritating that Microsoft didn't build native printing functionality into Windows Mobile to begin with...
I am still struggling with this...

worldtoday today plugin not working, any idea why?

I've found a couple versions of this timezone app (v04 and v15), but neither seems to work. Tried installing to device and storage card. I get this message...

It can be downloaded from here...

I used to use it all the time on my previous ipaq and really miss it.
Any ideas? Any small today apps that can replace it?
Thanks!

Sprint Mogul Blue Tooth / Printing

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

Print boy??

Printing from Diamond

Are there any apps that allow printing from the device (methods: BT and wireless). Which can print to Canon's, HP's and Lexmark's and preferably free ?
Have already tried Active Print but that requires software installed on PC (so no good) and JetCet (doesn't support Lexmark's and I couldn't get the dam thing to print anything anyway lol) and PrintBoy (couldn't get that do anything either lol)
If anyone knows of any other apps that might work, please let me know, thanks in advance.

anyone able to use wilife

I have a wilife cam and want to be able to view it but for the life of me cannot find a way to do so, as there is no silverlight able to be downloaded for wm 6.5 for the leo.
Just wondering if anyone knows a work around or something which would allow me to use my cam and be able to see it without having to go to a comp instead of being able to use my phone to view. I was able to previously use my tytn II unlocked with AT&T to see the cam before but for whatever reason now its telling me I can't. Possibly due to the flash not being compatible?
Any and all suggestions are welcome
nm got it figured out, just needed to go into opera settings and allow addon function which allows flash
I wonder if this will work on android devices...
