Hi,

With an external, it should be possible to print directly to the BT printer. Another possibility is to create a simple server app with LiveCode, which runs on a desktop machine on the same WIFI network and prints to any printer from there.

No android externals yet (iirc) so i'd second the vote for a simple server app to handle the printing from the desktop machine.

Oh, right, Android. I just click on unanswered questions and only read the question, not in which forum it was posted. It might help to mention Android in your question next time (also to make sure that the question was posted in the right forum section).

Kind regards,

Not directly from LiveCode, it seems, but there may be workarounds.
