Well I tried setting up my Axim to wirelessly print a couple weeks back, but I was unsuccessful. I also used Ike's guide but had no luck. I contacted HP because I have a Photosmart 1115. They replied telling me that my printer cannot be used in a wireless environment. Fine. I stopped trying because I had my answer. I received an email today from Resco because I have File Explorer 2003. They alerted me that there is a new version that supports printing, but it was only compatible with Windows Mobile 2002. I have 2003. In their email, there was a link to HP's site to download the software to print, so I did. I also downloaded the update to File Explorer. I installed the update, then the printing software and guess what? I'm printing. It just took a little configuration and a little navigation. So in conclusion, yes, you can print wirelessly with a Photosmart printer, HP and yes, you can print with Windows Mobile 2003, Resco. ah hah

Was the link to the HP software provided by Resco the same as what you had initially used? (I'm just wondering if it was just the Resco update that made the difference.)

chrisdiaz

Resco's link was different than the one Ike provides. Perhaps HP just released an updated or new version of Mobile Printing.

HP does have two versions of their Mobile Printing utility posted on their site. The one for 2002 does not work after you upgrade to 2003. I downloaded the newer version and installed it and I can print wirelessly to any network printer at the office or mine at the house.

The HP URL for that please?????

I actually have both versions linked from my WiFi How-to (and have had for about a month). The one for WM03 is listed at the bottom of the Print section, though, and is probably easily missed. I'll change that as soon as I send this.

Do you have to have both software packages(resco + hp) to print or just the mobile printing software(hp)?

so wait, you actually have hp mobile printing integrated into resco explorer. i have these two programs, but they're not integrated (i use them separately). i too got the e-mail from resco but they say that hp mobile printing integration into explorer isn't done yet for 2003 and that they're working on it. but are you already doing it? if so, how?

I have both File Explorer 2003 and the HP software and the only thing that I can print without installing Westtek Clear Vue is email.

How are you printing word files and PDF files using File explorer 2003 and the HP software?

chrisdiaz

there is an option in hp's program that allows you to toggle between printing email or files located elsewhere on the device. its down on the toolbar of the program.

The HP program will not let me print any files other than email.
I see the options on the toolbar and I can find files other than emails.
If I use a Westtek viewer I can print word, PDF files etc. if I remove the Westek viewers the same files I was able to print are now unavailable for printing.
