1. Printing Reports in the Field
1.1. You can print Summary Reports, Invoices and Inspection Agreements in the field for clients.
1.2. But it is not your typical printing experience...
1.3. Printing is done with the hp mobile printing standalone software.
1.4. We will look at printing from a PDA using both
1.4.1. PocketPC 2002 or 2003 operating system, and

1.5. If you already have print software on your PDA (e.g. You are using a PDA from Carson Dunlop), skip this step.
1.6. The Pocket PC was not developed with printing capabilities. A third party printing application is needed to print
from your Pocket PC.
