This sample demonstrates the use of the Intermec LinePrinter ActiveX Control to create a simple report printout.
This project files for this sample, (.vcp, .vcw), only support EVC3.0 at this time.
There are several files that should be in your development directory when you start this project. They are:

Besides the above, there are three other files PRNPORT.DLL, PRNERR.DLL, and NPCPPORT.DLL which must be loaded on the mobile computing device. The directory on the mobile computing device they might be found in is either \windows or \Flash File Store\System. If the files do not appear in either of these directories, the features used in this example may not be supported on this platform.
The CE version of the Line Printer Control, LINEPTR.DLL, must be loaded and registered on the executing device before the sample code may be run on the mobile computer. The DLL will usually be found on the development machine at IntermecRoot \Developer Library\Printing Resource Kit\Runtime\Platform. Where IntermecRoot is the directory you chose to install the resource kit, usually C:\Program Files\Intermec, and Platform corresponds to whichever platform you are developing for.
Once the DLL in on the mobile computer, it may be registered using the Microsoft utility, RegsvrCE.
Before you open the project, the desktop version of the Line Printer Control must be registered with the desktop Operating System or the project will not compile and run. If you have already opened the project and are now checking this file to see what went wrong, you should reinstall this sample.
To register the desktop version of the control, open a command window and navigate to the directory the desktop version of the Line Printer Control is in. This will usually be IntermecRoot\Developer Library\ActiveX Design Time. Now type:
"RegSvr32 lineptr.dll". This should register the control on the development machine.
WinCE.ini must also be moved to the \Windows\Start Menu directory on the mobile computer before the program will run.
