Hi Elmer

I was working on a pilot for an application a little while ago that had
printing as one of the requirements. The printer I had to work with was the
Brother MW140BT
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=106663&partner=register. At first
it gave me a headache as the only code out there for working with it was in
embedded c++ but because the company I was doing the pilot for were planning
to order 500 of these I was able to get access to some people in the know in
Brother that got a me an sdk for the compact framework, at the time this
wasn't available on the net it may well be by now but if it isn't I can send
it to you.

You still have to quite a bit of work for the printing like draw the stings,
images etc that are going to be printed, and sometimes because of it being
bluetooth it failed but in the end I managed to get it to print the receipts
and the signature that was captured on the XDA quite successfully.

I hope that helps a little and if you end up using the Brother printer I can
send you the sdk.

We use http://www.fieldsoftware.com/PrinterCE_NetCF.htm and are very happy
with it.. We had some problems printing PNG files and support was very
helpful, even though we were only using the trial at the time.
The PNG problem was not in PrinterCE btw, is was a "need-more-memory"
problem on the device.

Cheers,
Lars
