Don't quote me on this, but in the past when I have used infrared, it |
| 17 |
used a pseudo serial connection. This should mean that once the infrared |
| 18 |
connection is established, you should be able to print as if it was a |
| 19 |
physical serial connection. |

Of course, getting the IR connection established might be easier said |
| 22 |
than done. |
