PRINTING FROM THE PALMTOP TO THE HP DESKJET 500 95LX 100LX

I printed out my phone list directly from my 100LX to a DeskJet 500. I connected my 100LX to the DeskJet's serial port with the HP 100LX DOS-compatible Cable (part number HP F1015A, price: $24.95) and a 9-pin to 25-pin printer adapter (HP F1023A). The HP 100LX Connectivity Pack (HP F1021A) contains all the necessary cables and adapters for both the 100LX and the 95LX.

The DeskJet manual warns against connecting more than one printer cable to the printer at a time. The DeskJet is compatible with the LaserJet and works with the Palmtop's built-in LaserJet driver.

Simply go into SETUP on either the 95LX or 100LX and select the HP LaserJet as the default printer. The Interface should be Com1 and the Baud rate should match your printer, usually 9600. Save your settings and you're ready to print from any application that supports printing.
