Hehe, that's how I used to print from my N800 before I made the lprng package (which is just a few kilobytes anyway).

Searched but couldn't find... do you know where I can find this printing package? I would be printing to either a shared printer or a networked printer. TIA

- i figured someone had an earlier, simple solution... btw, if you remember, which release of lprng did you use and about how big was the install package on the n800?
(i really don't want to screw around with the file system on my IT, though)

My announcement was in this thread
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=10891
The link to the download is
http://www.box.net/shared/zaj5id7dau
The installed size is a bit larger than I remembered (the really small one was rdate), it's about 3.4MB.
NB: Only tested on OS2007.

regarding printing for the IT... there are a few solutions, including a video showing someone printing via CUPS directly off the IT, printing via PB's KDE port, and (i thought) one approach possibly using FTP...
- but my simple solution uses a software package readily available for the IT... dunno why i didn't think about this earlier... it's nothing special, really... the catch is that you need a *nix box already configured for printing and an available user account on the box (i use a notebook running Ubuntu)...
- the incantation uses a shell command line pipe and ssh, with lpr on the receiving end... i tested .txt, .gif, .pdf, .jpg and all worked well (CUPS configuration)...
#!/bin/sh
# nPrint - print file from command line using remote host/acct
#
cat $1 | ssh $2 '( lpr )'
- for example:
nPrint foo.jpeg willie@192.168.1.101
or
nPrint foo.txt varnell@foobar.net
- note you can 'hardwire' the user/host if you like by substituting the $2 with username and IP/hostname... if you have not set up ssh key exchange, you'll be prompted for the remote user's password... (or you can just create a 'print' user on the remote system)
- now if someone would come up with a gui file chooser, we'd have printing of files off the IT's desktop menu!
:-)
- hope this helps someone print from the IT...
p.s. and i'm very sorry 770 users; this will work for you too... i'm abashed at how i callously forgot our vanguard IT owners...
