I have a couple HP printers with IR ports.
I'm trying to print without any success. (Say: word document, tools, file, beam document)
The Qtek recognizes the printer (It shows it's brand / mode) but ends with FAILED
How should I do it?
Thanks in advance,
Joao Caldeira
As far as I know, the applications have to support printing, which isn't very often.
If you develop applications in .NET CF, you can use a printing SDK from HP.
There is another printing SDK, which name i have forgotten.
HP Mobile Printing
Search for "HP Mobile Printing" on the HP-Website and install it. Using this Application, you can print via IR,BT or WiFi. For instructions contact me again, i don't have the time to write it doen right now.
Hope, this will help you.
Have a nice Weekend,

Hello,
Has anyone been able to find an updated driver for this IR printer?
or atleast a fix! the program keep saying now, unable to open COM:1
i noticed tho, that IR port is COM:3
maybe someone can find a way to fix it?
help!
PS: Sipix no longer make these printers, and dont offer support.
i wonder if that means we can disassemble that code, in order to
keep using there obsolete product.
Have you tried unchecking beams in settings/connections/beams.
yes i did.
if i set the xda to autoreceive, it detects the printer!
but the software itself is messed up.
i strongly beleive its either the COM1/3 thingie,
or a protocol setup.
for example, this printer ONLY prints on XP if
its set to 11500 speed AND hardware handshake!
im thinkink of building a serial cable... it may not be IR printer no more, but i can still print (i hope)
no luck, anyone?
Is there a way with an HTC Dash / Excalibur running WM6 Standard to access network resources on a LAN through the WIFI? I've tried looking for an option in Total Commander, and I installed the Resco Explorer 2007 trial. It seems that Resco's PocketPC version supports mapping drives, but not for the WM6 Standard. I've seen screenshots of what is available in Resco Explorer. That option is omitted for the WM6 Standard version.
I've tried ORB and Soonr. Those seem to be the only methods, but I was hoping for a more native method.
Any suggestions or advice?
Thank you,

Mapping to Home Network Share
Is this not possible on an HTC S620/S621 ? I would like to be able to map to my network shares. I could then even use Hamachi VPN to connect even if I'm away from home.
But first things first. There seems to be no way to map a drive letter, or even connect via a UNC statement of \\abc\123 ... etc.
So far the only methods I've seen are soonr and orb. I suppose it's a work around, but I was hoping for a more windows native method.
From my research, it seems that those running touch screen / windows mobile professional can do this. If they add Resco Explorer 2007 it has that option. I installed the Windows Smartphone Standard trial version, and the option doesn't exist.
Nor does it exist with Total Commander.
Thank you,

Not possible with WM6 Standard Devices?
Haven't received an answer. I've been googling for a response, but everything I've read seem to indicate that the network mapping thing is a real crippling part of these phones.
I've noticed that this seems to be a major difference between WM6 devices with touch screens, therefore running WM6 professional versus the WM6 Standard Devices.
Touchscreen WM6 Devices can map drives, use remote connectivity software, and even have more advance function in pocket office.
Non-touchscreen WM6 devices can't perform drive mappings, or use remote connectivity software like RDP or VNC.
I'd like to be able to map a drive to my network, and transfer files that way, rather than through activesync. I can't understand how I can obtain an IP using my HTC Dash's WIFI over my wireless router, but yet, not connect in any manner to the network that I have shared drives on.
If someone knows of a way, then please let me know.
Thank you,
Tim
no one has ever mapped a drive w/ the excalibur??
i have tried for months...it seems as if the phone is the big proble. it doesnt support netbios from what i have seen. on my network i can ping it by netbios name and everything from the pc end of things..but from the phone i cant see the computer by anything but ip which is fine. but i cannot acces a share or network drive via \\ip.address. no idea how you would create a share on the phone either

Maybe Microsoft's Live Mesh technology will help this. Apparently there will be a client for mobiles and could give you a way to access your files on the go. (I know this doesn't quite answer your question, but maybe helps solve the problem)
See http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=399577 for some details
How to map a network Drive with Built in WM software.
Hey guys. I have to say the solution is so simple it is Genious.
Simply open up internet explorer on your device and type in \\SHARENAME\
IE will translate this into file://\\sharename\ and if it is password protected it will ask you for the user name and password. You will then be sent to Windows File Explorer, and Viola you are surfing your network resources. You can even save them as a favorite for later use.
I hope this helps.
That doesn't seem to do anything?? Did you get this to work in IE for wm6.1?
First let me apologize for spamming the forums with some similar threads... each time I overcame a hurdle and a new one presented itself, I just began a new thread to discuss that. From now on I will append the initial thread... thanks for your patience.
1. WM6.1 and WMDC 6.1 (vista x64) are not too friendly... as the interface, though designed to be intuitive.... is anything but. I am sure it will get worked out in the future... but now it is one tough SOB to conquer
2. From doing enough reading on the web, though recently updated (12-17-07)... the Toshiba BT stack also does not play nicely with WM6.1 ... as numerous smartphone and PPC users are experiencing issues across multiple mobile platforms.
3. In Vista x64 (this is my personal experience) the only way for me to sync via bluetooth is to drop the Toshiba BT stack and use the generic M$ drivers. However... doing so I lose the stereo and serial port services
4. For whatever reason, it seems that activesync locks up STK (R08). When I disable STK, I can establish a connection infintely quicker. Alternatively... when I have activesync disabled, STK is much snappier and its failure/crash rate drops substantially
If anyone has had similar and/or different/"better" experiences with similar hardware... I'd love to hear about it
OS: Vista ultimate x64
ROM: Kavana/Rickwyatt .18
BT adapter: Kensington Micro USB (toshiba rebadge)

Never thought of STK being the culprit of activesync issues. Since i didnt have these issues with WM 6.0 . Now i also use the toshiba bluetooth stack but i use winXP and there was a way that i could get activesync to work. (not sure how this would translate to WMDC) here it goes. Basically i created another bluetooth COM port with the toshiba BT configurator. then made sure that COM port # was selected in connection settings under activesync then i opened activesnc on my phone searched for new bluetooth devices and when it found my PC and connected, activesync was one of the options. Trying to go the other way around by pairing the phone starting with toshibas program did not yield the same results, in fact i could never get it to paired the other way around.
very interesting...
I will try the technique with today... usually my issue comes about when the devices cant exchange passkeys... although they are identical.
pudge.... should I set the com port as server or client?

Do what? the com port needs to be a serial COM port. not a bluetooth DUN or PAN com port

I gotcha... when I use the BT com port utility it asks whether I want to create a client-side or server-side port
since its serial it needs to be "server" side...
I tried, but still no luck, it pairs.... lists stereo and activesync in the services, but then refuses to sync
I think this is a flaw in WMDC 6.1

the only other thing you might try is in bluetooth settings -->security on your device. disable (temporarily) the OBEX security option and try again.
You can also try and create a COM port on your device. When you're on the screen where you add a new bluetooth device. press right soft key and select COM ports. right soft key again and then select new outgoing port. then select your PC (or laptop) on the list of devices that shows up. then add a com port . and it will let you pick com 6 or com 7. Then try again

already been down that road, trying to set up a new outgoing com port (6,7) no dice.
I think the deal is WMDC6.1 ... it makes me sad

sorry to hear that. Well since i have the same drivers, i will not be using vista anytime soon (not that i needed this as an excuse to begin with)
I was thinking of perhaps looking for some compatable drivers to replace the Toshiba stack. The generic MS drivers allow me to connect via activesync... but thats all, I lose all serial services (including object push, file transfer, stereo etc....)
I'll be honest though, I have been an XP guy for a long time... but after learning how to tweak, hack and optimize my vista install, I love it.
Hello all,
I have a HTC p3600i (Trinity) and I would like to create a program which would send coordinates detected with the built in GPS via GPRS to a server. This is actually my final year project, and it should be done in Java.
I have never programmed for windows mobile before so hopefully someone could assist me with this project. I have a few questions:
1) Is it necessary for me to upgrade my ROM first before I could use the built in GPS on my Trinity? I just got this phone today, so I'm not really sure about this. It has a GPS navigation software installed (mapking), does this mean it's ROM has been upgraded?
2) What are the tools that I need? I currently have Java ME installed on my laptop, should this be enough or do I need any other applications for this project?
3) Could someone point me in the right direction, as to where I can get the related API to program this or even maybe a guide? Right now I don't know where to start.
I hope I didn't ask too many questions for a newbie
I really appreaciate all help!
Thanks!
It might be worth having a look at Microsoft's Intermediate GPS device driver.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb202086.aspx
This stuff is in GPSAPI.DLL which should already be in your device but it is a hidden file.
You use the GPSOpenDevice, GPSGetPosition, and GPSCloseDevice functions to get it to work. These are 'C' type function calls.
To go lower than this you will have to open the COM port of the GPS device, read the data from the port and then parse the NMEA strings yourself, and then do whatever with the values returned. A complete pain in the backside!
GPSGetPosition will fill a GPS_POSITION structure with the values you need.
Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the reply. Will look into it. How bout sending out the data through GPRS? Any ideas?
Don't know exactly. I have only ever written .NET CF C# code to drag data from the net, never to put it back. I assume that many of the SYSTEM.NET namespace objects could be used to transfer data over to a server.
You can push data directly using the WebClient class methods OpenWrite(), UploadData(), UploadFile(), and UploadString().
UploadFile would be used as a Batch Job to push a series of saved values at once.
These functions will use whatever path is available to send the data. Wifi, LAN or GPRS. If you are out in the field, it should start the GPRS connection automatically in order to complete the WebClient transaction.
To use the .NET objects you will have to code it in C# or VB, unless you can access them in Java. Any clues anyone? The GPS stuff can be accessed from .NET by declaring it as a P/Invoke function.
Ok, first off, i am hoping someone somewhere has experience of using the sideshow for windows mobile on their touch pro II.
I am experiencing a lot of problems, mostly i cant get it working at all. The problems start when i pair the device over bluetooth!
When i pair vista installs all the drivers it needs but cant find the "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" drivers, and then when i explore the services vista finds for my touch pro 2 the sideshow box is there but un-checked, and then i check it and apply, and it has the same problem with not being able to find a peripheral device driver.
I then found the universal Bluetooth dotNet Sideshow drivers, and they installed successfully (i think). But now no device appears in the sideshow control panel in vista, even though in device manager is shows "HTC Touch Pro2 T7373" under the Windows Sideshow category.
Has anyone got this working? or has anyone encountered these problems? I would really like to see how sideshow is on my phone. Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
Ok, so i have solved it, even though over 45 of you lot looked and had no help, thanks for looking though. The solution was that the "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" that remains unfound needs the driver updating in the way outlined here:
http://www.computers.nepalesemap.com/index.php?topic=3.0
Then the sideshow application on the phone finds the vista machine. Then the wanted gadgets can be activated on the pc.
My hope of using this as an "inteligent" remote control and more is and was valid, apart from the limit of support and development for the mobile sideshow package. It works, but it crashes every time a large list is presented. I have no doubt this is because it is a preview release, but the date of the 0.01 version is dating back all the way too the 20th January 2009; and there seems to have been no updates to the mobile client since.
Does anyone in this vast comunity use sidebar and not have this crashing problem? and also is there anyone here with any news on the development of this product as i am still keen and interested!
