MOBILE PRINT with MOBILE PRINT SERVER

---

short:

• MOBILE PRINT
  Android 2.1 application that can send files to a computer/server via FTP

• MOBILE PRINT SERVER
  Windows XP+ application that can print files that were sent by MOBILE PRINT

detail:

• MOBILE PRINT
  first of all you have to configure the IP of the MOBILE PRINT SERVER
  second you have to enter the port (default 2000, you can choose what ever is available on your server)
  choose a file
  select "Print" to send it to your printer (Server must be up, and running MOBILE PRINT SERVER)
  
  

• MOBILE PRINT SERVER
  Create a directory "FTPROOT" where MobilePrintServer.exe is located. The files will be collected there.
  (The directory is not cleaned automatically.)
  
  The FTP-Server-Application is special. There you can select a local printer.
  If the android-application has finished transferring a file to the server, the printout will start automatically and a status message is sent back to the mobile.
  
  The server-Application is running under Windows. All file types (documents) that are registered there, can be sent from the mobile. Of course, you can send all types of files, but the printout will just work,
  if Windows knows how to print it.
  
  If you want to print PDF files, then you should install Adobe Reader on the server.
  TXT files are normally printed through notepad.
  JPG goes with the Windows default picture viewer, if you haven't installed a replacement.
  DOC is done by Winword or else.
  
  You can test some of the file types by pressing the buttons ".txt", ".pdf" and so on.
  Each extension needs a file called "PrinterTest.#extension#".
