irda?

[Sean]

I havent tried, but IIRC there is a slow irda and a faster irda and just
because it is IR doesnt mean it is irda compatible.

I would 2x check this and 2x check you have irda enabled on the printer
itself with the printer utility.

Note: I doubt this hasn't been triple checked but I thought I would
mention it anyway.
