Has ANYONE successfully connected a printer with Bluetooth?

I recently purchased a D-Link 120 and was unsuccessful connecting it to my printer with D-Link's 320. I was told by D-Link the -320 will not work with a multifunction printer.
I am set to purchase a new printer with a printer adapter from the same manufacturer....ie Canon MP500 and Canon bluetooth BU-20.
Perusing this discussion forum reveals many unanswered questions relating to connecting a printer with bluetooth. Before I purchase another printer, can anyone offer some assurances that this is, in fact, possible with OSX? TIA.

i did for about 6 weeks. i have the ambicom bluetooth printer adapter from comp usa. its on an epson rx500 photo printer. it's made for pcs, BUT it worked on the mac since the mac already had bluetooth capabilities...when i got my harddrive upgraded and osx had to be reinstalled, it no longer worked. i updated osx to the latest version, just like before the harddrive upgrade. my computer still scans for and finds the printer, but says that a necessary driver cannot be found. there was no additional driver ever installed by me, since the adapter only came with pc software in the first place. i just plugged it in and it worked. now no one can figure out what happened.

  • Has anyone successfully connected to HTC via bluetooth

    My HTC is not supported on the IPad2 via bluetooth.  Is there a solution

    Connected for what purpose? iOS does not have the BT profile for file sharing.

    If you wish to use the cellular capabilities of a device, you will need a SIM (unless the carrier uses CDMA which doesn't use SIMs) and you will have to pay a cell carrier. No cell company provides service for free. The only way you will get free Internet is via WiFi to a free and open WiFi access point, as sometimes is offered in public buildings or by some businesses.

  • Has anyone successfully connected New ATV without HDMI?

    There are numerous threads suggesting a variety of methods that MIGHT connect ATV to an older HDTV w/o HDMI but has anyone actually done so successfully? If so, please explain what actually worked. I'm curious because I'm stuck with a Mitsubishi rear screen with DVI, Component, S Video but no HDMI.
    Thanks

    I just received an Apple TV for Christmas and was able to hook it up to my RCA projection TV that has a DVI input only. I have a HDMI to DVI cable that I hooked between the Apple TV and the TV, and I hooked up the optical audio output to my surround receiver.
    I did have an issue with the picture not displaying correctly to the television when I first turned on the Apple TV, but after the software updated, the picture is now more stable. There are some minor issues with the menu not totally appearing at the top right of the screen, but when I toggle the menu back and forth, the missing information reappears.
    To make sure that I didn't have any audio issues, I set the audio to dolby 5.1 "on" instead of auto, which was suggested in another thread. I really didn't try any audio/video without it set up in this fashion and I don't recall hearing the menu clicks on my stereo until I changed the setting.

  • I cannot connect to printer with bluetooth with i phone office jet 150

    i cannot connect using bluetooth from ipad or iphone

    Hi,
    Apple's iOS does not support printing over bluetooth, it only allow printing through a wireless network connection. (802.11), as well the Officejet Mobile 150 is not an AirPrint printer:
    NOTE:Apple iPads and iPhones do not currently support Bluetooth printing. To print from your Apple mobile device, you can use HP's wireless printing accessory (sold separately). Go to Installing the HP 1200w NFC/Wireless Mobile Print Accessory to learn more.For additional information, go to HP Printer Does Not Support HP's Mobile Printing Solutions .

  • Has anyone successfully used OSX Lion with Logic 8, a Digi002 and Digidesign's Coreaudio?  Need to know for iCloud update.

    I need to upgrade to Lion for iCloud and to shift my mobile me iDisk to iCloud in order to save the content I have and need to share.
    Anyone using Logic 8 with this?  I want to be sure, as I can't afford to upgrade everthing just yet.
    Thanks

    I can give a partial answer.
    If you're installing Lion over the top of Snow Leopard Logic should be fine, it you're going to run a clean install of Lion, Logic 8 will not install but will run if you can copy it over from a working SL install.
    Update: This thread has info on how to install Logic 8 on a clean install of Lion.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18270040#18270040
    The other issue are Digi's Core Audio MIDI drivers, they don't seem to be Lion compatible yet so while you may have the audio part of the interface working with Lion, you have to remove the MIDI drivers or Logic chokes while booting up. (unless there are new drivers I don't know about) Perhaps others have more info on the Digi situation.

  • Has anyone successfully connect a HD to tehre basestation that worked out?

    I can not seem to make good use of my 750GB HD, too slow for iPhoto and iTunes files to browse as well as no possibility to download anything to teh drive with a 3rd party app such as safari or a torrent program.

    Yes, but if the hard drive is too slow, it will not be any faster connected to the Airport. I have a Western Digital Studio Edition. The only problem with it, it sometimes goes to sleep and will not wake up. This happens less often after the Airport Utility Update.
    Good Luck

  • Has anyone tried to pair the Tzumi bluetooth headphones to their iMac?  My iMac will detect the device, connect to it for about 2 seconds, then shows a status of "not connected".  Multiple attempts get the same result.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • Has anyone successfully used the ZTE Open C with an AT&T microcell?

    I have a ZTE Open C and have had no issues with initial setup w/AT&T. However, like most newer phones the voice signal reception is very weak.
    I've had an AT&T Microcell before, but I don't have one now. For those that are unaware, the microcell allows 3G phones to connect via a 3G signal, but the call is routed through a home broadband internet connection.
    Has anyone successfully used a ZTE Open C w/Firefox OS AND used an AT&T microcell? If yes, did you need to do anything special on the phone or with Firefox OS.

    I don't use a ZTE Open C, however, I do have a ZTE Open (Original) on AT&T and so I'll see if I can help ;D
    I know someone who has a Microcell, and I have used it myself a few times. However, the microcell only works if you have entered in your phone number into settings of the Microcell.
    Check the Microcell settings.
    Check the data connection settings on your FxOS device
    Make sure your Microcell is properly connected to WiFi
    and check the AT&T support page for more info
    For a while, it actually hasn't actually worked for me. I apologize if this doesn't solve your problem :D

  • Has anyone successfully printed on Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL on Mac OS X 10.9

    Has anyone successfully printed on the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9?
    Also has anyone successfully printed on the Epson EPL-5700i after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9?

    I realize that most people tend to visit the forums to report problems rather than visit the forums to report successes after an upgrade. And I appreciate John Blanchard1's taking the time to reply to my posting.
    Dakoda mentions problems printing to a Konica Minolta C280 and the thread that John Blanchard1 posted refers to problems printing to both Konica Minolta BizHubs (C652 & 501).
    However, the existence of these problems with other KM printer models does not let me know if anyone has been successful printing to the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9 or even if anyone has had a problem with printing to the 2530DL after upgrading to 10.9.
    On October 28, 2013, a Konica Minolta technical support agent told me -- after checking with his supervisor -- that regarding the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL that they will not be upgrading the 2530DL printer driver. In fact they have not upgraded the driver since 10.6. I learned on their support site that the 10.6 driver has continued to work with 10.7 and 10.8. They have not yet updated their support site for compatibility of their line of printers with 10.9.
    So I would like to find evidence that this printer has continued to work for someone after the upgrade to 10.9 rather than upgrade and then have to downgrade to still be able to use this printer.

  • How to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with bluetooth to my mini mac?

    how to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with Bluetooth to my mini mac

    Does the printer actually support BlueTooth? If the printer is wireless, then most likely it uses Wi-Fi. Did you read the user guide that came with it? Or contact Canon tech support at their website.

  • Has anyone successfully managed to get VZW to raplace Fascinate with a different phone?

    Has anyone successfully managed to get VZW to raplace Fascinate with a different phone?
    If so, could you share with me on how you convinced VZW to do it?(which department?)
    I love my Fascinate, but not when it can't get calls.  I would prefer to have a Fascinate with
    zero problems, but that appears unlikely.   So I guess my best option is to get a different
    phone(Samsung, Motorola, or others)
    Thanks!

    I successfully got a swap out of my Fascinate with a Droid Incredible 2. 
    I private messaged VZW agents on these forums the following message and through the course of 3-5 days I successfully was granted an expception and allowed to swap out my device (with no contract extension or upgrade eligiblity extenstion). This was after several phone calls and numberous wasted hours trying to convince them the Fascinate was not a good phone. 
    If I have been rude in any way during this message, I sincerely apologize, I did not mean it. I am a frsutrated owner of a bad piece of electronics. I am aware it is not VZW's fault, but I think you need to stand beind the phones you sell and rectify situations that are bad. 
    I am a Samsung Fascinate owner and to say the least this phone has been the biggest source of frustration I have ever had to endur in the 20+ years I have owned a cellular phone. 
    The have been number rous issues with my original phone and the replacement (certified replacement) phone I have gotten. These issues include, but are not limited to:
    1. glitchy UI
    2. constant forecloses and freezes
    3 auto reboots 
    4. inoperable phone for 20 - 30 minutes at a time. Can't access apps, can't make calls, can't send texts, phone is useless to me.
    5. not receiving calls/texts
    6. missing voicemails
    7. increased battery drain
    8. random flickering of screen lights while using the phone.
    Now I have performed the following steps at the suggestion of VZW tech support on both my orginal phone an replacement phone
    1. Hard resets, factory resets 
    2. Soft resets,
    3. Clear cache on the phone
    4. Removing apps 
    5. Updating roaming capabilities 
    After all these issues and all the suggestion on fixes, the phone still performs poorly and is not a reliable phone at all. Like I stated previously i am beyond frustrated. 
    I am aware these problems are software issues not a hardware issue; a refurbed Fascinate will not correct them. Hard resets do not fix the problems. I have scoured the message boards on this website (VZW forums) and I am aware the VERIZON is aware of all these issues with multiple Fascinate users.
    I am asking to be allowed to swap my Fascinate for another, DIFFERENT model of phone. I am fine if that is a refurb, as long as it is a DIFFERENT model of phone and not a Fascinate. I know this is possible because users on your very own forum are stating it has been done. I am asking it be done in my case
    Best thing I can say is stick to it....sitck to you guns and don't back down and don't be allowed to think there is afix when there is not. 

  • Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

    Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

    Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC.  It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
    For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

  • Dear All Has anyone found a break through with the issue of Connect to itunes to use push notifications

    Dear All Has anyone found a break through with the issue of Connect to itunes to use push notifications

    Did you get any help on this? From what I can see from surfing this site, it's a BUG that no one has offered a solution to. It sometimes happens after a 'reset' and going to ITunes does not offer a way to 'set up push notifications'.

  • Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub

    Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub. I'm using 10.7.3 on MacBook Pro. Don't care what model bizhub is being used as I have access to many. I've seen the posts for FTP workarounds but want to use SMB if that is an option. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    I've read other discussions that have suggested changing the format of the username and password when having login problems. I'm not familiar with NT-Status Codes. Could changing the format of the username make any difference? Something like... "workgroup/username" or "username@domain" or "domain/username" or some other combination of workgroup, domain, username, computername.
    The issue has nothing to do with the format of the user authentication. What you are reading is about the Lion Mac connecting to a Windows computer that is part of domain or workgroup. The method changed slightly compared to Snow Leopard.
    KM does support FTP so that is still an option, but I would ideally would like to set up SMB scanning. I'm not sure if KM is going to support AFP anytime soon.
    With the lack of SMB support and KM offering no alternative at this stage then I suggest you look at using FTP. While Lion removed the option to enable FTP via the Sharing pane in System Preferences, it can still be enabled via Terminal using the following command
    sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
    You will be prompted to authenticate using your Mac's admin account & password. Once this is done, you can then configure the address on the copier to push scan using FTP. The keys are;
    The host name requires just the IP address. No leading slashes like SMB
    The path will be the folder that you want to scan to, also entered without a leading slash. For example, Desktop
    The user name will be the short name of the account who's folder you want to scan to.
    The only other option may be WebDAV if the KM supports it. We have this with our imageRUNNER ADVANCE and with a document scanned to a shared folder in the copier hard drive, we can then connect to that folder by using Finder's > Go > Connect to Server facility. You then just enter
    http://ipaddress/share
    which connects you to the shared folder and lets you see the document you scanned. You also have the facility to set subfolders for security of users documents.
