Hi there, is there any possibility to print freely to the jetdirect printer from windows mobile? I found only PrintBoy software, but $50 is very expensive.

I think paying so much for open standard is too much.

Any other possibility???

Windows Mobile doesn't natively support printing at all. Your paying not only for Jetdirect printing, but any printing at all. If you want real printing support, consider a UMPC running a full version of Windows.

I believe, and don't quote me, that there would need to be some sort of windows mobile printer driver to be installed on to your phone and I don't think those are available. but why not remote desktop a computer connected to a printer on a local wifi network to do it for you? =]

JetCet is very good and much less ($19.95). I tried Printboy and dumped it. JetCet had no problem printing a several page PDF email attachment to my network officeJet printer over WiFi;

For printing from Internet Explorer use PIEprint ($24.95), works great as well, prints web pages in color to a network printer via WiFi;

It's too bad that WM6 has no naitive print solution and that different print apps are required to print from different apps.

I'm still looking for an app that will print maps from either Google Maps or MS Live Search......

Jetcet is awesome, way better than printboy. Even though i can only print on 1 of my 2 ppc (tilt and 8525, the one i install it on first will print only) it's still a great app.
