Ah IrDA PRINTING is a different matter ... that may well be using the LPT emulation 
software available with Win9x in which case it'd have different smarts in it ... but 
on the flip side it'll only work with printers and other such devices (having said 
that, printers will accept a pure stream of Tx bits anyway so thats probably a 
non-issue).
