Question: What printer would you recommend for printing Rx's?
We strongly recommend the use of LaserJet printers over inkjet or style printers. While inkjet printers have a very low up front cost they are expensive to run and often do not produce good results with the handheld print drivers available from PrintBoy (the print engine used in BluefishRx). Some printers will not work at all.
The HP LaserJet 1320 is an excellent printer that is reliable, fast, cheap to run and easy to setup. It is compatible with the IR adapter recommended below. The Lexmark E232 LaserJet is also a good low cost LaserJet.
Most modern printers don't have built in IR support and require an IR adapter. We have tested and recommend the ACT-IR100M IR adapter. It is available from the following URL. http://www.actisys.com/actir100.html. Some lower cost printers will not have a parallel port and so will not accept the above IR adapter. Other printers may have the parallel port in an inaccessible position within the printer making it impossible to attach the above IR adapter. Check with printer compatibility before purchasing.
The IR adapter simply plugs into the Centronics port on your printer. The adapter has a pass through plug that lets you keep it connected to the network. To print you simply sit the adapter on top of your printer and point your Palms IR port at the adapter while tapping the print button in BluefishRx. The working distance will vary but is generally around 4 feet.
