Wireless wide area network printing
TLDR
In this paper, a system that uses three different wireless technologies to print a document from a mobile device is described, which is comprised of a server and a client consisting of a controller, an 802.11x transceiver, a Bluetooth transceiver and a modem.Abstract:
A system that uses three different wireless technologies to print a document from a mobile device. The invention is comprised of a server and a client. The server is comprised of a controller, an 802.11x transceiver, a Bluetooth transceiver and a modem. The server waits for a connection from a mobile device and once a connection is detected determines the type of connection. The server uses the proper protocol to extract the print control data and interpret the print type. The server proceeds as normal, converts to printable format, and prints the document. The client can be a personal computer, a laptop, a personal data assistant, or a cellular telephone. The client operating systems include all versions of Windows, Palm OS, Handspring, and Simbian.read more
