Print out from PDA ?

[Muhammad Arif]

Hi All,
How I can have a print out from PDA in Windows CE environment? I have
to print a ticket which will be populated with the information from
database (I will populate it myself but don't know how to have the
print out).

Best Regards
Arif

What device and what printer are you intending to use? Some manufacturers
supply an sdk you can use for printing. Alternatively look at using
PrinterCE, http://www.fieldsoftware.com

Arif,

In addition to Chris's excellent advice, be aware that if it's a fairly
simple serial printer, you may be able to just write strings out the serial
port to the printer. (Check out www.opennetcf.org for a serial class for
..NetCF.) Many portable printers have a printer control language that allows
you to change orientation, font, etc. by sending special characters in the
serial stream. A big benefit of a product like PrinterCE is that they've
already done that work for you for a variety of printers.
