I have two ACTiSYS infrared printer adaptors available for sale.
These units let you print wirelessly via infrared directly from your PDA to a parallel printer.
The units include a small infrared detector that can be located in a convenient spot on the top or beside your printer. Also included is a small electronic device that plugs directly into the printer's parallel port
(like a dongle
) and an AC adaptor -- no need for batteries. There is also a short extension parallel printer cable included in case your printer has a recessed printer port and the dongle won't fit. If you also use your printer with a PC, you can plug the parallel printer cable frm your PC into the other end of the dongle
(it works like a pass-through
). You just can't print from both at the same time.
These were purchased new by me and are in good working condition. One was a backup and has never been used. I used the other with a Psion 7 to print to a Canon inkjet, but it should work with other PDAs as well since they use the IRDA standard protocol. You can see a photo and find out more at:

PLEASE NOTE: THESE WORK WITH PARALLEL PRINTERS -- NOT WITH USB PRINTERS!
I'm asking $25 for each plus shipping from Ottawa, Canada.
Best regards, Greg.
