Yeah, and we tried PalmPrint before trying to write the IRDA ourselves. We
tried it at Symbol's suggestion. Unfortunately, while it was quite happy
with printing to the printers we need, it makes NO provision for graphics...
wouldn't even allow us to use it as a transport to send our own graphics
code to the printer. I sent an email to stevenscreek to verify this seeming
lapse, and you yourself confirmed that impossibility ...

But we've got it working now with a library obtained from ONeil. Finally!
Thanks anyhow.
