what solutions are available to print from the NX? i know bluetooth (not an option for me - not bluetooth MS or printer) but what else is available? IR printers seem few and far between - almost to the point of going out of style (best buy doesn't carry them anymore)... is there any way to directly cable your NX to your printer?
what software is required? what exactly does printBoy do?
thanks!!

This is something I have yet to investigate, but had planned to do this weekend. So the point is that I am interested in too and PrintBoy was the name I have heard also.

let's share what we find... i'll do some looking around. i mean i'd even settle for plugging my clie into my printer with a cable until a wireless solution were available (if that's even possible?)... and i need to find out exactly what printboy really does.

I have one printer that would be compatible via infrared and that's my portable Canon BJC-80 if I used PrintBoy.
PrintBoy requires a network printer to use it via WiFi or Bluetooth.
PrintBoy doesn't appear to support a serial cable from the Clie.
The other option is an infrared adapter to a compatible printer.
USB will not work from the Clie as it works only as a slave.
PrintBoy Anywhere at $39.00 is not cheap!
