HP JetSend Mobile Printing Solution for Windows CE Handheld PCs

by Dave Murphy
ISSN 1535-3613

Users of Windows CE handheld PCs may download a free copy of Hewlett-Packards (HP) JetSend software. With this software, wireless PC users can print to HP JendSend-enabled printers like the HP 4050N that's sitting next to me.

JetSend is HP's technology to enable infrared and network printing communications at speeds otherwise unavailable.

The following details were gathered from HP's site:

Mobile Printing

Printers that are HP JetSend and IrDA-enabled can rely on one printing solution to provide fast, easy mobile printing.

Faster Printing

The HP JetSend printing solution is faster than conventional printing on Windows CE - up to 10 times faster!

Grayscale Printing

If you have a grayscale document - or if you have a color document that you want to print on a monochrome printer

you can print the document from your handheld PC using the HP JetSend printing solution. Just create an infrared connection between your handheld PC and the printer, select your print options, and print the document.

Using Infrared

Easy, ad-hoc information capture and sharing is easier than ever with JetSend. Simply capture documents with the HP CapShare Information Appliance or any other JetSend-enabled device. You can then send them to a JetSend-enabled printer, such as the HP LaserJet 2100. With IR, JetSend:

Saves time and increases productivity.
Provides simple printing when and where you need it -- without the complexity of drivers and cables.
Creates a new way of handling and carrying electronic information.

On a Network

With JetSend, remote corporate collaborators can efficiently share ideas with remote partners at business speed. As an alternative to fax, JetSend provides crisp, clear communications -- when every minute counts! On a network, JetSend:

Offers superior output quality over fax.
Faster transmission of information than e-mail and overnight delivery services.
Saves money by reducing document delivery costs.
Reliable, proven hardware performance.

Currently, more than 3 million JetSend-enabled products are in the marketplace. HP envisions a world of intelligent JetSend-enabled devices exchanging information freely with one another, regardless of manufacturer or device type.
