How to print from Pocket PC 2002

02-19-03, 11:48 AM

As I'm sure many have noticed that there is no way to print directly from your Axim. Here are a couple of programs that will allow you to print right from your Axim to a printer.

hp mobile printing for pocket PCs - HP Mobile Printing for Pocket PC software extends the capabilities of your PDA by enabling you to print business content or personal information to a wide array of Bluetooth, infrared and network printers. Simple to load and easy to use, it is designed to work seamlessly with your Pocket PC.

PrintPocketCE - PrintPocketCE prints out Pocket Excel spreadsheets, Pocket Word documents and Emails, as well as Pocket RTF (rich text format) and plain text (TXT) files. PrintPocketCE prints to a wide variety printers using Infrared, Bluetooth, 802.11b wireless network (Pocket PC 2002 only) and serial connections (click here for list of printers supported). Pocket Excel, Pocket Word and Pocket RTF files are printed with text formatting, including multiple fonts, text attributes (color, plain, bold, italic, underline, strike-through) and justification (left, center right). Images contained within Pocket Word and Pocket RTF files are also printed. Click HERE to see what printers are supported.

Print Boy CE - Bachmann PrintBoy CE is a software application that provides the convenience of highly readable graphical printouts for documents you have stored on your PocketPC. PrintBoy CE allows you to simply point your PocketPC device at your printer's infrared port (Bluetooth, network and 802.11b are also supported), select the document of your choice, and tap "print" - your information will immediately be formatted and printed on readable, full-size paper.

If anyone uses a different program, please feel free to add it to this list. I'm hoping to write up a FAQ on how to set up printing. ;)

Need some help with Print-boy. When trying to print through the server service, the document goes into the que on my system, printer window comes up as if the document is going to print, but nothing prints??? The document will show in the que for a few seconds and is deleted. Driver issue or something??

Well, here is a response from dell regarding my issue...absolutely pitiful if you ask me, or am I missing something?
I can print from a network w/ print-boy, just need updated drivers I would assume. Thank you for contacting Dell Technical Support.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused due to this issue. After reading your mail I gather that you want to print datas from the axim.

It is not possible to print data's directly from axim. I would request you to transfer data from the axim to the system and get printout from there.

Please refer to the following link for the user guide. Page no. 67.

Please refer the link given below that explains, ?Dell? Axim? X30 user
guide" http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...0/en/index.htm

After transfering the data to the system you can take a printout of it.
If you want any other information/clarification plesae feel free to contact me, I will be glad to help you.

Respectfully,
