PC Infrared Port by alegator on 09-05-2005 at 12:52 AM

Hi, I have a mobile phone and would like to communicate with the PC via the Infrared capability of the mobile. Can I use the Infrared port of my HP Printer to communicate with the PC? Thanks.

As far as I'm aware that's not possible.
You can probably find some software that will allow you to print directly from your phone though, if it's any consolation.. :)

You can't use the infrared port of your printer but you can buy infrared adapters you just plug into your USB port. Have a search on ebay, they're quite cheap (well, they would be if p+p didn't cost 10 times the actual price of the product :P).
