1) Remove my SD Card and the compact flash card

5) Did a soft reset (after taking it out of the cradle)
6) Put it in the USB Cradle
7) Reinstalled the driver (location provided above)
8) Turned Axim off (after taking it out of the cradle) –this was also part of the instructions provided by Sipix
9) Turned Axim on
10) Print from A6print (tap > Start>Programs> A6print –it is best to choose a small txt file for quick printing)
11) Voila !!

Thanks but those instructions are the exact same ones as Axzym posted and I followed with no luck.

What program are you trying to print from?

I'm opening SiPix's A6Print program and choosing a Word document to print to Infrared. I finally did get it to print by loading the PrintPocketCE demo then uninstalling it! that demo seems to fix a file in the print driver which then stays fixed after uninstalling the demo.

I see by your photo that you have the PrintPocketCE demo. That's how I got mine to work. After loading the demo, I can now print from A6Print and A6Capture even after uninstalling the demo.

This is the way I got my Sipix printer working. I may hang on to the PrintPocketCE demo program though as it seems to work pretty good. A bit on the pricey side though. Followed all the advice on this thread, with many soft resets. It's not a logical progression.

All I could print from the PrintPOcketCE was it's Demo tag and thats it..

My A6 Printer arrived today from geeks.com.

From my experience, what worked was:

A) Install the driver (available as described above)
B) Remove all media (CF and SD)
C) Soft-Reset the device

Then the printer worked. I won't really get a chance to use it a lot for about a month (until school is back in session), but it is very cool to know that it works!

please help - how do you get the drivers onto the x50v and which files do you copy?
