[android-developers] Re: connect wifi printer from android browser
what needs to be added is PostScript and RAW support over TCP, that will allow printing to most network printers and even RIP servers over TCP sockets. there's probably no good way to support printing to non-network printers that are just being shared by a desktop though, unless the desktop sharing is assigning the printer an IP address, or the printer natively supports PostScript, but the latter would require Android to support NetBIOS, which is just a pain. hopefully this is something the Android team will look into though, as the ability to print would be tremendously handy. On Nov 19, 9:58 am, Jean-Baptiste Queru [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Android doesn't support any form of printing at the platform level at this point. I would imagine that it might be theoretically possible to implement some TCP-based printing protocol in an individual app, but it seems like a lot of effort (and making it happen within a custom browser would add its share of difficulties).

[android-developers] Re: Is Market going to support applications autoupdate mechanism?
I certainly hope the Market will support a way to query and prompt for updates. OI Update is alright, but it checks a 3rd party site which often doesn't match the Market version and requires you to open your device up to potentially dangerous software (granted, it's not yet been an issue, but it is something to consider) On Nov 17, 9:24 am, Max Binshtok [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I am wondering if the Market is going to support some autoupdate mechanism for the applications - we are required to version and sign our apps - so it seems like they can do it, but is it going to be done? If yes then : 1. When? 2. How the users will be notified? 3. How the reinstallation will occur? 4. Do we (the developers) have to do anything to support easier auto update?

[android-developers] Re: Can anyone clarify this part of the developer's agreement?
it means you can only use personal information gathered from the phone to advertise other products that are also on the Market. If they're not on the Market, you can't advertise them using data obtained from the phone. the best way around this is using an opt-in feature. The first time your app is run, ask permission to advertise, defaulting to no and request the user manually enter the email address they wish to have such advertisement sent to. You should also include a built-in way to opt-out after they've already opted-in, to avoid irate users later down the road.

The potentially problematic monitor is approximately 5 years old and part of a Dell system.
