Re: IR Printing OS 3.5 vs. 4.0
So I have still not solved my problem of printing to an IR printer using the low level IR library. My next thought is to use the serial manager to open the connection over the IR port and print to the printer. Any ideas as to why the original developer of this software wouldn't have chosen to do it that way? Should it work? Steve Branin Nexiq Technologies Steve Branin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:95687@palm-dev-forum... I have an application that prints to an O'Neil IR printer. It works fine on a handheld running OS 3.5 but not on a handheld running OS 4.0. Anyone know of anything that has changed in regards to IR communication from version 3.5 to 4.0?

Re: IR Printing
Hey Guys I found that the symbol sdk Supports printing, and I was playing around with the Postscript and it seems to work without any sort of printer driver.

I am interested in adding printing to my application but I notice there is not much out there regarding how to write an app to add IR printing. Could anybody point me to some resources?

Re: Ir Printing...
Am I correct in assuming that if I wanted to print via infrared, I could just open IrCOMM connection and squirt data thru? Yes, providing your printer supports IrCOMM. But most of them only support IrPRT. If your printer *does* support IrCOMM, its xid will have a second hint byte to that effect. The only printers I know of that support IrCOMM are the Canon BJC-50 and BJC-80. You will also need the new serial library (PalmOS 3.3 and above). -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
RE: IR printing
I have printed to a number of different printers using a number of sources. I have managed to get text output on HP 350C and BJC-80 printers I have got text and graphics from the Oneil printers You can either use 3rd party software (bachmanns is pretty good) or if you are using symbols they have there own API for printing. The print job is set up using the API calls to draw lines/text/etc and it is then sent to the printer. All the tricky stuff like openning the IR port and transmitting the data is handled with simple API calls. -Original Message- From: Charles Rezsonya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 27, 2000 3:37 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: IR printing hello, i'd like to know if anyone has worked with beaming a print job from a handheld to a printer via ir port. if so, what printers have been used, how is a print job setup on the handheld before printing? tia -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
