Hello All,
I have this Zebra Cameo 2 portable printer that I'm having a Wasp WPA206
Barcode scanner (WindowsCE.Net 4.2) print to via IrDA. I've been able to
piece together some code to get the printer to flash it's communication light
and then just beep once at me but I haven't been able to get it to print.

As far as I can tell all I need to do is open the IrDA port and spit out
some CPCL (zebra's printer control language) and that is it. That is what I
think I'm doing.

Would anyone have a piece of code that is proven to work with
windowsce.net 4.2 that does the simple task of opening the IrDA port (making
a connection if necessary although I don't think it actually has too) and
just sends plain text to the device on the other end? I'd like to compare
something that already works to what I've put together before I go seeing if
Zebra's tech support will give me the time of day :)
 
Hi Tony,
Not sure if you solved your problem. However you can get an ActiveX control
from Zebra that simplifies the coneection to the printer. This support Irda.
