John,

Thanks for the new option. At first I was thinking it would work, but
then I noticed the little Visa and Mastercard logos that need to be on
the invoices. So, unless anyone knows how to deal with the images, I
guess that won't work for me after all.

I did find another solution that may work for me. Apparently
FieldSoftware has a PocketHTMLprint_NetCF SDK that will let me print
HTML files. Compared to the PrinterCE.NetCF SDK, this one is a lot
cheaper. If I can convince the boss to spring for this, it should do
the job. :)

Of course, it'd still be nice if I could find a solution that didn't
involve third party tools.
