At this time, it appears QuickSheet is the only spreadsheet application supported.

PrintBoy Documents
PrintBoy Deluxe will print almost any document file used by such programs as QuickWord and WordSmith (at http://www.bluenomad.com/ws/prod_wordsmith_details.html). This utility won't print Memo Pad files, however. PrintBoy Deluxe has another utility for this.

PrintBoy Note
PrintBoy Note is a nice little feature that basically shows you a blank notepad where you can jot down some information quickly, such as an address or a part number, and then immediately print it.

PrintBoy Address
The PrintBoy Address function will allow you to select a single address from your address book and print all the information stored in that entry. At this time, you can only print addresses one at a time.

PrintBoy DateBook
The PrintBoy DateBook function will allow you to print information from your calendar. You can choose to print information for a specific day, week, or month, or you can define a range of dates to print.

PrintBoy To-Do
PrintBoy To-Do will allow you to print your To Do items by priority and due date.

PrintBoy Memo
PrintBoy Memo will allow you to print any file that can be read by the Memo Pad application that comes with the Palm OS. One really nice benefit of this is that you can print from almost any application, even if it's not directly supported by PrintBoy Deluxe, as long as the application can export its data to a Memo Pad file.

PrintBoy Mail
PrintBoy Mail will allow you to print an entry from your Mail inbox.

PrintBoy Clipboard
Ok, you have an application that's not supported by PrintBoy Deluxe. Your application also won't allow you to export information to the Memo Pad. Don't give up hope yet. If the application will allow you to copy information to the clipboard in the memory of the Palm device, then the Clipboard function in PrintBoy Deluxe will allow you to print it.

PrintBoy Scribble
Lastly, PrintBoy Scribble lets you create and print a freehand drawing, such as a simple map or diagram. Don't look for any extras here, you won't find them. It doesn't support text entry, allow you to change the width or style of lines, or even erase a mistake. It's pictured in Figure F.

My experiences
I found PrintBoy Deluxe very easy to install, configure, and use. I did have some trouble the first time I tried to print, but that was because I had my default printer set to serial instead of IR (infrared). Once I had everything configured properly, I was able to print a wide variety of information. I was printing to an HP LaserJet 6P, so of course, the print quality was excellent. Obviously, the amount of time it took to print each document was directly related to the size of the document. Even so, I found most documents printed quickly.

I really like the way PrintBoy Deluxe formats the information being printed. At the top of each printout is a large and easy to read title that includes the name of the document being printed and the date it was printed. The spreadsheets took quite a while to print (10-15 seconds per page), but they looked very nice. The QuickWord documents I printed looked like they came from a desktop word processing program. The calendar printed in a very organized and easy to read format that included any notes that were attached to a specific appointment, which I especially liked.
