Cannot "connect" a bluetooth enabled kodak photo printer

i have a kodak photo printer 500 that is bluetooth enabled and after going through everything that i could possibly think of on my powerbook i still cannot print to it.
i can get it to connect with the bluetooth file exchange utility but through the printer setup, it will not accept the very same pass key.
anyone familiar with this situation?
powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Okay, I just got off the phone with Kodak tech support. There is no way to set this printer up as a printer to print from within a program.
He explained to me that the only way it was designed to work is by clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, selecting Send File, choosing a jpeg from your drive and clicking ok to send it to the printer, basically a file transfer. You have no printer control as far as selecting number of images per sheet or anything.
So don't get rid of your usb cable just yet. I guess it's okay for just sending a quick print from say a bluetooth enable camera phone which works basically the same way. If you were hoping for more you're out of luck on this one.

  • 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.

  • Hi my wife and I have an iphone 5 each yet we cannot connect via bluetooth any solutions please

    Hi All
    My wife and I cannot connect via bluetooth both phones just go in search mode but find nothing and both phones are now discoverable any help please thanks in advance

    You can do it via Wi-Fi through email. Or you can set up an iPhoto library with a shared PhotoStream in order to share photos.
    If you both sync your devices using iTunes to the same iTunes Library, then you can have a common library of data that each of you can sync to your devices. You can also share data through your iCloud storage account. You have 5 GBs for your Apple ID and can purchase more if needed.

  • Any ideas why iPhone 6 cannot connect to bluetooth in my new 2015 Nissan Altima.

    Any ideas why iPhone 6 cannot connect to bluetooth in my new 2015 Nissan Altima.
    Thank you.

    To be honest, if you do a search of the forum, you will find a number of posts with problems with the 2015 Nissan Altima. It appears that it cannot pair. This seems to be a problem with the vehicle itself and users have been contacting the manufacturer for updates to the vehicle's system in hopes of correcting this. I suggest you contact your dealer and ask if he has any info from Nissan. They will probably try to get rid of you by saying it is a phone problem, but as I said earlier, there are multiple posts here about issues with the Altima.

    If you can get them paired again try making them "favorites" from the Bluetooth system preferences.
    Try smc and pram reset too.  May gave to do this before you can get them paired.

    For what purpose are you trying to connect them?
    The only supported Bluetooth function between a Mac and iPhone is internet tethering.

  • HT204387 Can anyone speak to why Apple will not allow iPhones to connect to Bluetooth enabled OBD-II readers for car diagnostics?

    Hi! I have been reading up on Bluetooth OBD-II readers that plug into the onboard diagnostic port of your car and connect to apps like Torque. However, the readers cannot connect to iStuff (iPhones, etc.) because Apple apparently does not support the necessary Bluetooth profile to enable this kind of connection. Does anyone know why? And, is there anyway we could change that? All Android phones connect no problem. Thanks!

    Apple doesn't share this information with us nor can we speculate about it.

  • Linksys WAG54GS Router - iBook G4 Cannot Connect When Encryption Enabled

    Hi - I have a HP laptop and Apple iBook G4 with a wireless connection transmitted through a Linksys Wireless router. When encryption is disabled, the iBook can pick up a signal and I can browse the internet, when WEP encryption is enabled, it cannot. The HP works fine. I add the WEP key to the iBook but it cannot connect. I've tried the two 128bit encryption options and the standard option, but none of them allow a connection. Is there a specific way to secure your internet connection/router when using an Apple? Any ideas/comments appreciated.

    Flames1977, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Hopefully the information in KB 106250, Mac OS X, AirPort: Connecting to Third-Party Base Stations will help.
    Also if the Linksys has several locations for keys, make sure that your WEP key is in location #1. Apple does not support any other location.

  • Cannot connect with Bluetooth

    Hi,
    I'm on Windows XP Pro service pack 3. I use PC Suite 7.0.9.2.
    I used to connect my phone (Nokia 6500c) to my laptop via bluetooth fine. However, I got a new laptop (Lenovo SL500) and I can't connect via bluetooth anymore.
    Here is what happens:
    I go "Get Connected" -> Bluetooth connection -> it fins my phone, I click on the phone, then click next -> it asks to enter a passcode (let's say the usual "123"), I click net. Then, a bubble pops up for my bluetooth icon in the system tray saying "Bluetooth Security Code Required: Bluetooth device "Nokia Tony" is attempting to connect to this computer. Click here to proceed with the conection".
    I click on the bubble, a window called Bluetooth Security Setup pops up and tries to connect my phone.... "Pairing failed". I click "try again", my phone then asks me if I want to connect with my PC, I accept, the window "Bluetooth Security Setup" generates a six-digits code that I enter in the phone... pairing is made... but the window "Get Connected" of PC Suite tells me "Cannot authenticate the phone".
    any help, please?? I probably need to override the Bluetooth software, but dunno how.
    when I look into Device Manager, there are two things under "Bluetooth Devices":
    - Bluetooth Bus Enumerator
    - ThinkPad Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate II
    thanks for helping
    Tony

    hi, I think that pc suite 7.0 does not support widcomm 5.5 stack. There will come PC Suite 7.1 quite soon (it is now in beta testing). Please try that when it is available.
    For those who can't wait (like me), the PC Suite 7.1.18.0 beta is available for download there: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Nokia_PC_Suit​e/1084122750/1
    oh yeah, and by the way... with this version of PC Suite, it CAN connect the phone and the Thinkpad SL500 via Bluetooth

  • Connection to bluetooth /enable will not turn on

    The bluetooth was working fine until the other day. The Bluetooth enable will not remain on,

    Thank you. I therefore recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

  • Airport Extreme- PC users cannot connect to security enabled Wifi

    I have an Airport Express and have setup a security enabled Wifi network.  It works perfectly for me, but my PC user roomates cannot access it.  I don't know much about the difference between WPA and other settings, so maybe I need to change the security.  Please help. Thanks!

    DrVenture:
    Thank you. Yes, this did indeed work. The MacBook now connects just fine. I had one moment of panic when the Vista laptop referred to it as a "security key" rather than a passphrase / password, but I tried it anyway and that worked just fine too. So I'm happy again.
    Any idea why WEP doesn't work this time?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Cannot connect to bluetooth car kit - is invisible

    For some time Blackberry 8100 under OS 4.2 functioned fine with Audi bluetooth car kit.
    Now with a new Blackberry 8110 under OS 4.3 the same car is not detected.
    Other phones and printer can be connected to OK by bluetooth.
    Wondering if the car has a problem a connection was successfully made with another phone. 
    Please can anyone help?
    Merci.
    Pem

    That is sometimes the case if you want to download your contacts to the car. No problems when using it purely a handsfree.
    Personally I have never had to use any software and all my N Series phones including my current N96 have always connected to car kits. Sometimes it does take a few attempts before it downloads all the contacts but that's it.
