dotnet compact framework: Hi All,

I am developing a .NETCF app that requires me to print a document from the
PPC via Wifi.

Would appreciate any pointers on how I can go abou this.

TIA.

Cheers,
Sampath

That's going to depend on what's on the other end of the connection, not
really at all on the media (802.11), used. You might check into PrinterCE
from Field Software. They have support for a lot of different printer
types. There's no direct printer support in CE and printer drivers are few
and far between. If you are targeting exactly one type of printer, a HP
LaserJet, for example, it might be easiest to open a socket to the network
port that the printer listens on and send it the right PCL data to print
your document.

Have you considered using a Web Service?

nopes. It's a commercial app and it should be easily installable by non
techies. So I think web services are out. I a waiting for the client to
provide me with a SDK to be used for printing. heard that Field Software has
one.

CHeers,

You need not be technical to install a web service, your installation
software should do that.
