Hi there,

i just finished a project using vb.net to print from windows mobile 5 to a
usb blutooth printer adapter via serial port. here is the code i use (i
compile the printable content into a text file, then send it to the serial
port - code example below:

-----------------------
Sub SendToSerial(ByVal filename As String)
           Dim p As System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
           Dim fs As IO.StreamReader
           Dim portname As String = "COM6:"
           Dim sendValue As String = ""

           Try
               p = New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort(portname)
               p.WriteTimeout = 500
               p.ReadTimeout = 500

               Try
                   p.Open()
                   fs = New IO.StreamReader(filename)
                   Do Until fs.EndOfStream
                       sendValue = fs.ReadLine
                       p.WriteLine(sendValue)
                   Loop
                   fs.Close()
               Catch ex As Exception
                   MsgBox(ex.Message)
               Finally
                   fs = Nothing
                   If p.IsOpen Then p.Close()
                   p.Dispose()
                   p = Nothing
               End Try
           Catch ex As Exception
               MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
           End Try
           p = Nothing
       End Sub
-----------------------
hope it helps.
regards,
Paul

Alex,

As Paul says, it works fine. Bluetooth printers appear as serial devices.
The main difference I find with Bluetooth printers is that I need to delay
somewhat longer after printing each line to allow the printer to keep up.
