Hello everybody,
Is there are any possibility to print "Hello World" from iPaq device to
Zebra (Cameo 3 model) printer using IrDA?

Does anybody have a dummy sample?

We are using Compact Framework 2.0.

The only way is using third-party components!!!

Thanks

http://www.alanjmcf.me.uk/comms/infrared/irdaDotNetCliIrLpt.cs.html or
if you need to see VB.NET code, see my IrCOMM sample there and combine
the two.

Well you need Peter Foot's 32feet.NET library, but it is free.

For this usage one can't use the CF's IrDAClient as it doesn't have the
Client property (to access the underlying Socket), unlike TcpClient. :-(
