CE - Direct Print Data To A Network Printer

To direct print data to a printer on the network when running Windows CE, select Use Network Printer (LPR) and enter the LPD Hostname. Clicking the Configure button will display a dialog box which enables you to specify various print settings.

You must specify the Printer Name. The Job Name and User Name entries are optional (the User Name will default to root if none is specified). The Number of Copies to print is set to 1 by default. You can specify how many times the LPR protocol will attempt to execute the print job before cancelling by setting the number of Retries and the number of seconds delay between each attempt. When Add Banner is selected, information about this print job will be printed with it. You can display a message box which will indicate the progress of the print job by selecting Debug Information.

If supported, clicking the Advanced button will display a dialog box that enables you to send printer-specific commands to specify, for example, font size, colour, or page header and footer.
