You do realize, don't you, that you can use PalmPrint, and just send
material from your application to be printed via PalmPrint (or its
"server only" version, SCS Print Server). If you do that, your
application will not only be able to print via IrDA, but via serial as
well, and will work not just with PCL printers but also with PostScript
printers, Epson-compatible printers, and plain text printers, plus you
won't need to worry about creating any GUI for printer configuration
because PalmPrint handles all of that.
