suggestion about PDA and mobile Printer

[Rick]

Hi guys!

I need to develop an application that send to print from a PDA (with windows
mobile of course or windows CE) to a mobile printer (i've used zebra
printers some months ago with laser readers) but this time i need to print
to an A4 sheet, for example an excel or word file, but i don't know what
kind of printer or model i should use, i think there should be bluetooth
printer, but not all mobile printers have drivers for windows mobile or CE,
i'd like to know if someone has done it, from a PDA send to print to a
mobile printer, sheets A4 or Legal or Card and what kind of printer have
used.

PS: i think if the PDA and the mobile printer has bluetooth any PDA should
work

Windows CE, generally, only has support for PCL-based printers, so that will
also limit your choices. I guess that Windows Mobile has that support in
there, too, although I've never used it. Generally, any time someone says
"printer", we say PrinterCE from Field Software. That should support pretty
nearly anything that you might want to connect to and pretty much any sort
of communication.

A simple workaround would be to send the file to a PC that can do the
actual print job.
Some kind og web-service printer.
