Local Printing with IE

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,

I seem to be on a streak with these sorts of problems. I'm running a
Windows CE 5.0-based device which includes printing support. I can print
successfully to a suitable HP laser printer attached to the serial port
*using my own application*. However, when I try to print from Internet
Explorer (IESample), on the device, nothing happens. It's a RETAIL build,
but I have enough debug messages in the serial driver to note that the port
is never being opened by IE in this situation.

Can anyone confirm successfully printing to a local serial printer from IE
in CE5? To any printer from IE in CE5 (that doesn't work for me, either)?
I'm running a fully-updated CE5 installation, with the exception of
reversing out the August 2007 SMB server update QFE.

Paul T.
