QUESTION: WHERE DOES ONE FIND OUT ABOUT THE RIGHT HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE? THANKS

Answer
It's very unlikely that you will be able to print from your PDA, so I would recommend instead just making sure that you can synch with your PC and then you can print from the PC. There are some bluetooth printers that may work with a PDA, but I'm not really familiar with them and it's very unlikely it would work properly as there likely wouldn't be enough RAM for this to work properly. Sorry that I didn't have better info for you. Thanks. DebiN
