Printing is not supported in Windows Mobile. However this doesn't mean it is impossible.

Here is general plan:
1. Make communication with the printer.
2. Send commands to the printer, so it can print whatever you desire.

First part is pretty much standard and easy. The communication trough bluetooth is usually done as communication trough serial port. Probably sounds a little bit scary, but my routine is around 10 lines of code (just plain API).

The second part is a little bit tricky. It is printer-dependent. Also you need to know at least one of the ways to command the printer.
The easiest way is to learn some of the printer languages- EPL, CPCL, ZPL, ... EPL would be probably the preferred, because it is supported by almost every printer. Personally I prefer CPCL - it is like writing a script.

Most printer support 'Line Mode' - you send them just the text and it prints like in DOS times. However, you should check the manual how to set it up.

P.S. One con about printing with Mobile is that it is quite printer-dependent. If your client have a different one, you will probably need to change the print routine.
