AH - more information !!!
ok -
so is there a print server ?
that feeds the wireless label printers ?
or is something happening back to the iPaq when one tries to print ?
IF you are using a print server [of sorts] then it sounds like its a bit
less stress -
you can stream a print job from the Dot Net Server Directly.
hth - mondo regards [Bill]
