IrDA printing.. Help help help

[Jazsh]

Currently, i am developing a j2me application to do printing to IrDA-enabled printer via Infrared(Required protocol). I am still new to j2me, so i am looking for some example code for establishing IrDA connection and parsing print content to the printer.
Would anyone please help me by sending me some example or post some useful link for me to learn?

can you connect to the comm port, and just send data using properly formatted/protocolled data?

if you can at least connect to it, then you might look for some non-j2me examples to get the protocol down and correct, i.e. that is if you cannot find any j2me examples

this might get you going, or at least give you a clue, as I havent one...

thks for the reply.. i have try to code.. but the port return as "null" on 3230(i develop on this mobile phone). below is part of my code.

String ports= System.getProperty("microedition.commports");

String url = "nokiacomm:IR"+ports+"";
TextBox i = new TextBox("IR port", url, 256, 0);

i.addCommand(exitCommand);
i.setCommandListener(this);
display.setCurrent(i);

suprised no one else is helping you, you might post again to forums, with new dilemma.

You could try code signing, just in case it is protected, i have read that some system.getproperties properties are protected, but unsure as to which.

you caould also try guessing, but probably unfeasible!

If you post elsewhere and they figure it out, or if you figure it out, please let me know!

Good luck,

I would search the forum for bluetooth

there has been a lot of recent posts, but I havent dealt with either irda or bluetooth

look for bluetooth and example, and you should find the only link i could quickly come up with, where in i just searched google for "j2me" bluetooth and example

good luck
