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!

  • Re: NB100-12A - How can I enable Bluetooth?

    I have just bought a NB100-12A.
    On installation and every few hours since it starts a process "Installing Bluetooth driver " which opens a dialog box which says "please plug in the bluetooth device and click the OK button" if I click OK the message appears again in a minute. If I click cancel the installation program ends abnormally and then restarts a few hours later.
    I can't tell if the NB100-12A has bluetooth built-in (although the packaging says it does) and if so how to enable it. Is it a software error, or could it be that the bluetooth device is faulty. Is there any way to test the bluetooth function?
    In Control Panel the Bluetooth Local COM has no entries in it. Does this mean it simply has not installed?

    Are you using the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack? Or the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack?
    I would try this:
    Uninstall the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack from Add/Remove Programs.
    Install the Toshiba Bluetooth Monitor (This will enable the Microsoft Stack). A Bluetooth icon should appear in the System Tray or Control Panel.

    How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?
    This is needed for the app im working on. Need some user input via keypad as well as scanner input via a paired bluetooth scanner.

    You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
    I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

  • How can I use bluetooth on my Satellite C850-B906

    Please help me. How can I use bluetooth on my C850-B906 Satellite. I can't find it on the search bottom and even in PC Device, bluetooth is not there. This laptop has bluetooth according to its specs. (Bluetooth / W-LAN (802.11B/G/N).
    Any good answer will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    First of all: you are right: the Satellite C850-B906 supports Bluetooth
    http://www.toshibamea.com/CSPDF/Satellite_C850-B906-52424.pdf?ran=4qmi69d8z1
    But the notebook was not preinstalled with an Windows system and therefore I guess you installed the Windows OS (which one?) at you own hand.
    Probably you did not install the essential software / drivers which would allow you to use the BT
    The Realtek WLan module supports BT and therefore you have to install the Bluetooth Filter Driver Package a well as the BT stack from Toshiba driver page.
    After that you have to use the function key combination to enable the BT.

  • Can't enable bluetooth second time after 3.0 upgrade

    Since the iPhone 3.0 upgrade, I can only enable bluetooth once. If I turn bluetooth off, then attempt to turn it on again, it appears to crash and I am not able to turn on bluetooth. The only way I can enable bluetooth is to turn the phone off, then back on.

    I'm not sure what you mean by turning "automatically join networks" on.
    Under Settings->Wi-Fi, I have turned on "Ask to Join Networks," which is what I think you mean -- it says, "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network." But even if I turn that toggle off, it still says, "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will have to manually select a network."
    The behavior I had in the past was that my iPod would reconnect to my office network when I woke it from sleep, so I feel confident it's always automatically connected in the past, and is set as it should be to do so in the future. (Even while asleep, it would occasionally alert me to new e-mail. Since it loses its connection now, it doesn't do so.) Either way, I'm confused about why attempting to manually rejoin a known network would even occasionally get me an "Unable to join network" message, when tapping "Other ..." and re-entering that same network's settings would be successful. Seems it is able to join that network, but won't do it automatically -- and occasionally won't do it unless I teach it about that network all over again.
    But there's also that "Auto-Join" toggle I've mentioned above, on the Wi-Fi Network settings page for this particular network. No matter how I try to turn that toggle on, it reverts off as soon I scroll down the page or tap the button in the top bar to return to the Wi-Fi Networks screen.
    For what it's worth, it remembers my home Wi-Fi network just fine, and connects automatically when reentering range of my router. It also reconnects when waking from sleep, and periodically while asleep as well.

  • Speaker sound is desabled, How can I enable it ?

    My IPhone 4 device speaker sound is desabled, How can I enable it?

    Hey there Sabbir Khan,
    It sounds like you are unable to get sound from your internal speaker on your phone. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help resolve the issue with your phone, named:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    iPhone 4 and 4S:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"?

    How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"? An example would be in Photoshop, go to file>new, and create the size paper I want, and move images of different sizes onto it.
    I was thinking the print module would do this automatically for me.

    You can't, at present. It's been a requested feature, so we'll see if it shows up in a future version, but it's not there at present.

  • How can I enable embedded pl/sql gateway to run on port 80

    I have a new 11G install on OEL 4.0, database created. I would like to be
    able to access the instance using the pl/sql gateway. Works fine with
    port 8080, the default. How to I enable it to run on port 80?
    I found this statement in the following docuementation:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb22pro.htm#ADXDB2500
    Using HTTP(S) on Nonstandard Ports
    By default, HTTP listens on a nonstandard, unprotected port: 8080. To use HTTP(S) on
    the standard port, such as 80, your DBA must chown the TNS listener to setuid ROOT
    rather than setuid ORACLE, and configure the port number in the Oracle XML DB
    configuration file /xdbconfig.xml.I have root priviledges on the box.
    I've tried setting the listener file permissions:
    chown root:dba /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin/tnslsnr
    chmod 6775 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin/tnslsnr
    Also put root in the dba group.
    The permissions turn out like this:
    -rwsr-sr-x 1 root dba 830854 Jun 17 21:04 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin/tnslsnr
    I stopped the listener, bounced the database, and started the listener again.
    But it still shows the process being owned by oracle:
    oracle 29682 1 0 21:08 ? 00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -inherit
    Changing the port is easy:

    At this point, I can access the apex home page with the following url:

    http://rmdcopslnx1.us.oracle.com/apex/f?p=4550:10:1454849288245548
    I get the following:

    This is the entry from the listener log:

    So this looks like an permissions problem. But where? I posted
