Comments on: Review: PrintBoy Deluxe 2.0

While many who use Palm powered handhelds believe in the paperless office, there are still times when it is necessary to print something out. This generally happens when you need to give it to a co-worker or friend who has not yet seen the light and bought a Palm. This is where PrintBoy Deluxe comes in. You can use it to quickly and easily print just about everything on your handheld.

More support

I use Hi-Note extensively (in fact I never use Memo Pad), and would like to see support for printing both text and graphics notes from this application.

This would be especially useful since I now how to first export to Memo Pad and then hotsync to print a text note, and I have no ability to print the graphic notes.

I also use Hi-Note exclusively, and print from memo pad. I basically export my notes to the memo pad, and then print them from there. It is easy and quick, the whole process takes me about 30 seconds, and is no hassle at all - the only thing I do is clean out the extra copies from me memo pad, about once a month. Definitely not worth putting off buying a printing application. Furthermore, the makers of Hi-Note seem pretty stagnant in updating their software (I have heard they don't wish to change/improve it at all) so you may not see this ever realized.

MultiMail actually BUNDLES IN Bachmann Print Drivers for free. So yes it is supported. http://www.actualsoft.com/prod_mmpro_details.htm

You are absolutely correct and I apologize for missing that. There is an option in the MultiMail preferences to allow users to switch between Bachmann's print driver and the one for PalmPrint. Mine was set to PalmPrint and I didn't realize I could change it.

I'm going to go back into the article and correct this.

Thanks for keep me on the straight and narrow!

printboy/wordsmith 1.1

I had an early version of wordsmith 1.0 , i dropped the trial version and have reloaded 1.1 and you can print from a WS doc by using the drop down box and print with print boy.
I am looking forward to PB update to support rtf files , that will be great. Another reason why i think WS is better than QW isthe many updates and speed of such. QW said they would have rtf in 2-3 months.

I have use the jet eye from extended systems and it also works great. I wish i knew about the one with the battery though, the ac cord can be a hassle.

What printer are you using with the JetEye and which PB driver did you use. I have an Epson Printer with an Extended Systems IrDA printer adapter and i am unable to get any formatted text when I print. So, I will have to assume that you have an HP printer.

I had the same problem. Error 15 means that you have not set your config correctly. Don't use hardware use NONE.
