check printers here: http://www.datecs.bg we used them for our projects, they have library which gives you possibility to print and its very easy to support it from your application. they also allow to upload localised fonts so you can print in simple text mode and still have printouts localisable - something we never were able to make with very common brands like hp etc. for such company only english language exists and everything else must be printed in graphics mode - or look for alternative hardware. unfortunately most managers of sale persons are (censored) so poor salesmen walk with pda and huge printer because management wants their printouts big.... so to be on safe side its better to support also ordinary irlpt and bluetooth printers > > > > -----Original Message----- > > First of all, you will need to write your own IrLPT (infrared for printers) > and Bluetooth drivers. Bluetooth is easy, but IrLPT is a pain.
