Howto print from Kaiser to JetDirect printer??? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi there, is there any possibility to print freely to the jetdirect printer from windows mobile? I found only PrintBoy software, but $50 is very expensive.
I think paying so much for open standard is too much.
Any other possibility???

Windows Mobile doesn't natively support printing at all. Your paying not only for Jetdirect printing, but any printing at all. If you want real printing support, consider a UMPC running a full version of Windows.

I believe, and don't quote me, that there would need to be some sort of windows mobile printer driver to be installed on to your phone and I don't think those are available. but why not remote desktop a computer connected to a printer on a local wifi network to do it for you? =]

JetCet is very good and much less ($19.95). I tried Printboy and dumped it. JetCet had no problem printing a several page PDF email attachment to my network officeJet printer over WiFi;

For printing from Internet Explorer use PIEprint ($24.95), works great as well, prints web pages in color to a network printer via WiFi;

It's too bad that WM6 has no naitive print solution and that different print apps are required to print from different apps.
I'm still looking for an app that will print maps from either Google Maps or MS Live Search......

Jetcet is awesome, way better than printboy. Even though i can only print on 1 of my 2 ppc (tilt and 8525, the one i install it on first will print only) it's still a great app.

What do you use for printing on WM5?

What do you use for printing on WM5? HP Mobile printing does not seem to work. I really liked being able to print to my printer anywhere that gprs or wifi was available.
Is there another app or does hp mobile print work and just not for me?

Printing from the Wizard (HP MobilePrinting?)

Hi there!
For quite a while now I'm searching for an app making it possible to print from the Qtek, via LAN, WLAN, IR, no matter (well, nearly)...
all I found was the HP MobilePrinting solution, which (at least on my device) doesn't work (installed on the machine as well as on the storage card). The app always complains that the hpprintcenter seems not to be certified or a component is missing... well.
The only other app I found was Vanguard Printing, which I can't test due to a lack of IR-printers... :?
Does anynone know a solution to get the HP app running or at least a complete different program making it possible to print?
Aah, before I forget it: what about freeware?
Thanks a lot.

WestTek maybe your solution...
WestTek just updated all their software to support WM5. One of the programs is called JetCet. It allows you to print from your device. They have a 14 trial period for all their software.
NOTE: The only problem I've found so far is that their printing software (currently) does not support IP printers. You cannot configure a printer with only an IP address. You must use a printer that has a dedicated print server.
I don't know if they (WestTek) plans to upgrade their software in the future that will support IP Printers.

BTW. I think their software works well. I've printed PDFs and PowerPoints (2 slides per page (and no, you can't change that)) and they look decent. Obviously, printing from a workstation is better, but for a mobile printing solution, it works very well.

i am going to google this to find them, but for others that come after me, and perhaps if I cant find them, how about a url to them/their product?
Here ya go......
www.westtek.com
Bachmann PrintBoy does it... aaargh.
I tried the WestTek product just to find it doesn't work for me. There are only a few (Canon, HP, Epson) network-printers supported and it was impossible to get it going with my HP JetDirect printserver... not a generic approach.
So at least my biggest fear came true: the most expensive program I tried is the only one working under WM5! I can't believe it...
Bachmann PrintBoy7 does the trick, although the built in 'configure' dialog didn't work for me - calling the appropriate executable solved the problem. Besides that it's a charm to configure.
Bachmann asks for 'only' 49.99 Dollars!
That's a lot of money for printing a page once in while!!!
And they don't support the WM5 NoteTaker .pwi file-format! Nobody knows why.
All this only because MS skipped the implementation of a printing service due to more resources... :x
Does really nobody how to run the HP PrintingService under WM5?
Any progs I don't know?
Take care.
Yul.
I believe the mobileprinting software from HP is for WM 2003 only. I don't think they've come out with a new driver for WM 2005.

HP no longer offers their Mobile Printing product -- they announced this some time ago on their web site -- so there will not be a WM5 version.

Printer over Wlan (Opensource Tool)

Hi,
is there any tool, to print documents or pictures over Wlan?
Would realy great if it excist, or someone can write it.
Thanks
bye
There is a tool actually that allows you to print to a networkd IP address or a bluetooth printer. So if you have a networked printer on your wireless LAN you should be able to get what you want by using the tool. It is called:
JETCET Printe software and comes as standard on a Touch Pro. They are on the web somewhere and it should work with the Diamond.
all the best,
Sam.

ktIs there any good remote desop client for Topaz?

The screen of embedded remote desktop client is too small,
Could any one tell me any other rmc suit for WVGA?
Thank you so much
Depending on what you want to do remotely, there are some alternatives. You can use Sallingclicker, to control specific programs like mediaplayers on your desktop, it only works over wifi. Puppetmaster allows you to use a mousepointer too, but I don't know if it works on TD2. Others are RemotelyAnywhere, Promixis, PPCTablet, you'd have to try them out. Or download and install a different cab from the windows rdp program and see if that makes a difference.
Hi Deechte,
I wanna to remote the desktop of my home PC which is running Windows XP,
Could you recommend some verison of windows rdp program for me? especially for WVGA
As I used logmein on my Diamond 2... It didn't work...
After I connected to my PC and typed the login id and passwords via logmein, it finally cannot load the the desktop of my home PC....
I am still finding what is the problem with my D2...
Thanks for your reply
I guess the mobile internet browser on your D2 cannot load the LogMeIn plugin or activeX element that's needed. You could try the Finster rdp client, but I don't know if it's any better than the one that comes with the D2, nor do I know if it works at all...

Perfect RSS Client?

Dear folks,
searching for a perfect RSS client. Should sync with my Google Reader Account, but all of them (not only the last 500 feeds like BlueRSS), and as well Podcatching etc.
Any suggestions?
Thx in advance!
I use Greed. Best RSS reader I've used so far...
And why not use the mobile Goolge Reader (via webpage)? Just wondering...
I use Newsrob. http://newsrob.blogspot.com/
It seamlessly syncs with googlereader where I manage my feeds from my desktop. It is quick, simple to use and does what I want. Why not have a look

Well, you do not have free 3G or free WiFi everywhere. Thats why I love to sync / download all feeds before to have something to read.
On my HTC Touch 3G (Windows Mobile) I used RSS HUB, a pretty good tool. Had everything, folders, search, Podcasts, etc....
Still did not find the perfect rss reader for me. Keep suggesting please!
I use Feedr. Its just had a lot of updates and very good. They do a free version to try as well minus some funcitonality.
