Can't bluetooth print

Hi,
I have a MacBookPro, OS 10.9.2, 2.3 GHz Intel, connecting to Canon iP100 with latest driver, (mentions OS 10.9, but not 10.9.2). Prints via USB cable fine and I can "send file" to printer but all that prints is multiple pages of gibberish. I have tried the wireless adaptor in both the internal and outside ports.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

HT4356 Can I print a pdf document on my iPhone to a bluetooth printer that is not AirPrint capable

I have the HP OfficeJet 100 portable printer with Bluetooth and it is NOT a model with AirPrint. From what I've found, I should be able to print a docuement using my iPhone but would need some print software. I cannot figure out what software they're talking about and cannot find anything on the HP or Apple sites.

bluetooth is just an usb cable just wireless
a driver is still required to print on a bluetooth printer
ios don't have drivers in that respect and can't of cause ever ever use windows or osx drivers
there are 2 options you have
1. if hp's free printing app in app store (assuming they have one) can do it
2. if you install netgear genie in a computer it will make all printers the computer have access to become airprint printers in the eyes of IOS of cause the computer have to be turned on when you print
even though it's netgear who make the app one is not required to use a netgear router or the likes

HT204387 Why can't I print from my iPad 2 to a Bluetooth enabled HP mobile printer?

Why can't I print from my iPad 2 to a Bluetooth enabled HP Mobile Printer? My Bluetooth is on and the HP printer shows it's connected?
Thank you Bruce

Printing via Bluetooth isn't supported, the supported bluetooth profiles are on the page that you posted from. If your printer supports AirPrint then you can print to it via your wifi network.

How can I enable bluetooth printing on HP BT printer card?

I have an HP Deskjet 460 and wanted to use the HP Bluetooth Printer Card with it. So I set it up per instructions (I think) but I haven't figured out how to make it discoverable to my USB bluetooth dongle.
I've tried the dongle in both my laptop and desktop and in both instances the computers recognized the 'bluetooth radio device' and verified it is working okay, but in neither case can the computer 'discover' the bluetooth-enabled printer so they can connect.
I was hoping to find better instructions from HP but was unable to so I'm trying this forum instead.
Thank you.

Hi Pete4750,
There are only two possible solutions, that I can think of:
1) Find an older computer with Windows XP on it so that you can install software and use the Printer Toolbox to enable the bluetooth.
2) You can try installing the Windows XP software that includes the Printer Toolbox on Windows 7 using compatibility mode. Make older programs run in this version of Windows.
Otherwise, if these solutions do not resolve your issue, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
Best of luck!

HT4528 can I print with a bluetooth printer on iphone 4s

HI I am trying to print pictures with a blue tooth printer using my Iphone 4s and I am not able to do it is there anyone who can tell me how I am pretty sure it can me done I just don't know how

AirPrint works over Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth. If the printer is wireless enabled it should work.
There is no Bluetooth printing.

HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z is USB to desktop running Windows 7. I am XP Pro can"t find printer

I have downloaded the network diagnostic utility. When I run it it won't let me get past finding the printer. It wants it to be hooked up with ethernet cable which ain' going to happen. The printer is hooked to a desktop Dell running Windows 7 that is my wifes. It works I am not messing with that end. Scared? No just don't need the grief if I get it where it does not work. It is putting out a signal because the setup screen on the printer says it is and better than that two laptops running Windows 7 can get print from it. I initally hooked it up wireless and this computer(runningXP Pro 32 bit) could get it to print a test page. Photos would crash. Printer would run maybe half a page and quit an spit 2 or 3 pages of gobbledy **bleep** then start over. You could hit print from the host computer and it might start printing ten minutes or so down the road. By then I had hit the print button 2 or three more times. That thing was spitting pages of half done stuff half a day later. Price of Photo paper made me wire it USB. I blamed it on slow internet. If we get 20k you are having a good day. My apoligies in advance to Leroy and Bubbas' DSL line. That is all water over the dam but I still am not thrilled so far. I am tired and my eyes are burnt to cinders reading web pages and I still can't find out what to do. I have typed every combination of computer names, network names, ip addresses into every place I know to do and I can't get the XP to recognize. I got a program called hack this that I will attach a copy. It means little to me but more knowledgable folks understand. If anybody can help it would be most appreciated. I been using flash drives to get my prints but it would be nice to be able to print a page or two every now and then.

If the printer is connected USB to the Windows 7 machine, what you can do is share it to the network (assuming the XP computer is also connected to the same network). This way the XP machine can see the printer on the Windows 7 computer and install it. The only drawback is that the Windows 7 computer will need to be powered on for the XP computer to be able to see and print to it. I have linked a third party site below for instructions on how to do this.

Why can't bluetooth support more than one item at a time?

I have a HDX JAM bluetooth speaker which allows me to play music from my iPhone to a nice loud powered portable speaker. The speaker needs to be paired naturally. I wanted to add another HDX JAM so I could hear the music in a couple of rooms as I did household chores, but alas, when I turn one on the other goes silent, in other words, the bluetooth from the iPhone is only allowing me to hear one or the other but not both. Why is this? They both are paired with different numbers, I can have a wireless keyboard and another wireless device paired with my computer, at least I think that works as I also have a wireless bluetooth printer that runs off the computer and the keyboard also and they do not need to be run independently. What am I missing here?
TIA,
Ken

You may perfectly "their typed information and move it around" in Numbers which behave as the AppleWorks Draw environment.
Here is the second page in the document which I posted before.
As you may see, the standard Word Processor features are at work:

I exported my AppleWorks documents in Numbers ones.
And of course, with the Numbers document open, you may copy pieces of it and paste them in Pages's pages.

HP Officejet100 Mobile L411a intermittent Bluetooth printing problems with PDF files

Hello,
Our company provides computer-hosted medical devices controlled by an application running on Windows7 computers we supply. We are currently using the HP Officejet 100 as a Bluetooth printer. In some of our customer offices, we experience printing problems using the printer in Bluetooth mode (there are never problems if the printer is connected by a USB cable.)
The printing problems typically affect PDF files printed through Adobe Reader 10, and the symptom is one of the following:
Send a print job to the printer. It doesn't print and eventually the print queue shows an "Error Printing" message. If any print jobs are removed and the printer is power-cycled, the problem goes away for the time being.
2. Same as above but power-cycling does not cure the problem and nothing will print, even a test page.
In either of these cases there are no problems if a USB cable is used.
The PDF files we are trying to print are typically 5 pages with 3 of the pages having a lot of graphics and the remainder being text only.
Has anyone seen this behavior and is there anything we can do about it?
Thanks.

I don't anything about this printer, but I do know that bluetooth is really flaky with large files since it's got a crappy transfer rate, could be that the transfer is dropping and freezing the printer up. Does it have encryption turned on?

Bluetooth printing to Canon MP610, Help!!!

I have the Canon MP 610 printer and I have bought the bluetooth adaptor that was recommended from the Canon website. I can get my MacBook to recognize the printer but I cannot get it to connect. I get an error message that says there are no configurable services found on your device. This could be due to services not being enabled on the device, or the device might not have any services that need to be configured with the computer. See the docmentation that came with your device for more information. This helps me none because I have all my Canon instruction booklets and nothing tells me anything about how to get bluetooth printing, eventhough it has the capability. Anyone know how to fix this?

Good morning everyone,
I had experienced the same symptoms with a new MacBook Air and PIXMA iP100 printer via Bluetooth printing, (Air found the printer, created a new printer device, but failed to print, produced Error message 311), and found the following solution to be successful:
Install the Canon non-CUPS driver version 7.3.2 (posted on Canon's support page for iP100 downloads), restart, and configure a new Bluetooth printer device from within the Print & Fax System Preferences selecting the "Canon IJ printer driver" - not the "Canon iP100 series" driver. It was as simple as that.
Installing the non-CUPS 7.3.2 driver does not overwrite the 10.1.0 iP100 series CUPS driver. You will still be able to configure separate USB-wired and Bluetooth-enabled devices, using each of the drivers for the appropriate use.
And, (as Steve Jobs might say), " just one more thing..."
This solution worked with either very reasonably-priced Belkin or D-Link USB bluetooth adapters, so I suspect other generic Bluetooth adapters should suffice as well; there's no need to pay a premium price to obtain great results. Printing is also fast: it took 2 seconds to spool and 5 seconds to print a NeoOffice 1-page document with text and graphics. Not too shabby for the Bluetooth protocol.
Hope this helps soothe some of that frustration out there...
Best of luck& best regards,
Marc

Canon MP 600 Bluetooth printing...

Hello,
The Canon MP600 simply will not print via Blueooth for me. I can control the device in Printer Setup Utility via BT. I can print via USB as well. I simply cannot work out how to get the infernal thing to print via BT.
I am certain I am missing something really simple and obvious. Am I ?
Thanks in advance
Ian

Hi Ian,
It was suggested that I respond to you because I can print via my Canon MP600. All I did is plug in the printer. The only thing I can think of that you may not have done is that perhaps your Canon is mislabeled. This is what I would try: Go to Canon's website and under support you can get instructions on how to re-install all the drivers after you delete them. Do that. Then, when you plug in the printer anew, name it with the place you are trying to use it in parenthesis, e.g. Canon MP600 (Airport) or Canon MP600 (USB) or Canon MP600 (Bluetooth). It seems that the printer needs to be added as many times as places you want to use it. I have it listed twice (Airport & Bluetooth). Then I made sure that the bluetooth setup is set to recognize the (Bluetooth) printer. I have no problems printing via airport or via bluetooth.
Lastly, I spoke with Canon, and they agree that this printer is unable to ever do anything other than print via airport & bluetooth. If you want a wireless printer, they suggest the Canon MP800R. I'm going to look into that option.
I hope this was helpful.
Cheers,
Spencer

Wireless laptop, bluetooth printer Help please?

I was confused about the difference in a wireless laptop and how it would connect to my new bluetooth printer. I thought wireless was the same & now I can't connect unless I have the cable plugged in between the two.
Can I get another bluetooth device to make them "talk" to each other & work without cables?

Bluetooth and the 802.11 wireless on your laptop are 2 different technologies. even though they are wireless, they communicate using different frequencies, so it wont work.
if you want to use the printer via bluetooth, you'll need a bluetooth dongle for your laptop.
btw which printer are you using?
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

Slow Bluetooth Printing

I have an HP deskjet 460 with an AmbiCom Bluetooth Printer Kit which has a USB sender unit for the computer and a reciever unit that plugs into the printer. I can print from the PowerBook G4 (10.4.4) on USB cable without a problem. Switching to BT still works, only it prints at about 4 minutes per 1 page, hardly useful. This same configuaration set up on 2 different XP laptops, prints the same documents with little or no delay. The printer works, the bluetooth kit works, what am I missing on the Mac? I've looked for drivers and firmware updates to no avail. Anyone have a suggestion on what to try next?
Thank you.

i may have! i haven't looked at this specifically but i have been trying to sort out a networking printer problem, and came across this "tip" - when you are adding your printer if you alt and click on the more printers option you get the advanced options, which include bluetooth.
that may be worth a look?
good luck

IPhone and Bluetooth printing

Hi
With the latest iPhone OS(4), is bluetooth printing supported?
If not directly from the existing apple apps, but using the SDK/development tools to connect and print (even text format output) to a bluetooth printer?
I have a requirement to develop an app that needs to produce some output to a printer. Will this be possible?
Urfan

Hello
Thanks for the reply but, Iam not looking to print via the existing apps, like photo/notes etc.., but from my own app.
If a bluetooth connection is possible to a bluetooth 'device' (e.g. a small BT printer) then I would want to send output to the device.
This output could be simple text/ASCII using spaces/tabs to align the data.
In other words, can I connect in a similar fashion to a serial device via BT?

TouchPad Bluetooth Printing?

Just wondering if you can print from a TouchPad to a bluetooth printer?

Does it have to be an HP printer?
From what I'm told, it MIGHT work with a non-HP printer, but only HP Printers are officially supported.
