Wireless Printing

UPDATE: Please ignore all the convoluted instructions below! I have just
tried emailing a document directly from Hotmail on my Jornada to my
wireless printer and it works. It just doesn't work with GMail.

I was originally going to do a detailed tutorial on this, but having
given it some thought, it is probably a bit too "niche", even for this
blog. It depends on you having an HP Wireless printer set up with it's
own email address.

If you do, I'll not go into huge amounts of detail, but you can use
IFTTT to print any document you upload to a public Dropbox folder.

I tried to email the files directly in the first place, but it seems the
HP ePrint  service rejects any emails that don't have the correct security
certificates. These certificates are only sent when you use the GMail web
app but not when you use POP with GMail. I have not tested with another
email provider.

This recipe on IFTTT can be configured to email any document that you
place in a special "PrintThis" folder in Dropbox to your HP Wireless
printer's email address.
In a previous post, I demonstrated how to remotely access cloud
storage via FTP on the Jornada 720. Using this to upload any file to
the "PrintThis" folder will send the file to your printer.

It's not instant: it may take a while for it to reach your printer,
but it works.
