Printer compatibility

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I have a doubt. Is any printer bluetooth device compatible with Android SDK? In particular, I would like to develop an Android app to print by Citizen PD24 mobile printer with bluetooth connection. PD24 datasheet doesn't specify if it is compatible with android devices, but I am not sure if I can use it with BluetoothSocket API.

Thanks in advice!

If you want to use the Citizen printer sdks for Android (or iOS), you'll have to get some of their newer devices. Here are their official sdks. And here are three Android demo programs created using those sdks: mdemo, pdemo, and pnumticket.

Unfortunately, the PD24 is an older model and it's only being supported by the manufacturer on the (old) Windows CE mobile platform (I suppose you could try to reverse-engineer that Windows CE sdk code to try to make it work for Android, but that's just not something I'd be qualified to talk about).
