Has anyone looked into printing locally via the USB port on the 6000 series Blackberry devices.

What's a 6500?

All BB's have serial ports. I suppose it would be possible to send data from the serial port to a printer with a serial input. Some programing would be necessary...

Go to www.printeron.net and take a look at some of there stuff for printing, viewing and faxing from the BB.

Works great for me.

You should also be able to print wirelessly with the new BlackBerry software. Would be much easier then getting adapters.

Well and infrared port on the top of the blackberry would enable it to talk to printers, other blackberries, palms, pocket pcs. and it wouldn't cost much. why didn't RIM put one on?

Maybe, just maybe, you could take a com - Infrared device like what comes with a new HP printer, and write some code for the port on the BBerry to talk to it. I bet it's possible.......

Would be neat...

I just got the 6510 a couple of days ago. My husband's Nextel rep had them sent to our house.

It is very cool!!!
