How do I connect printer using bluetooth

What do I need to do to my printer so I can use bluetooth to make a wireless connection. I saw a bluetooth device that plugs into the usb plug on the printer, is that all there is to it.
Thanks

The Bluetooth profile HCRP is :
HCRP (hardcopy cable replacement profile). This profile allows the transfer of rendered data between Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as between a laptop and a printer. It is assumed that the client device (in this case, the laptop) will include a driver that renders the data. Note that Mac OS X supports Bluetooth printing through the Mac OS X printing API.
(from the Apple Bluetooth Device Access Guide )
To have the HCRP profile, you'll need to have Bluetooth software 1.5, or later. I'm running OSX 10.2.8 and ASAIK I have Bluetooth 1.3.2, so I don't have the HCRP profile.
You can use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant in /Applications/Utilities to configure your Bluetooth device, once the device is within range.
To sum up, whether the Bluetooth adapter in the link will work for you depends on the OSX version you're running on your G4. I would guess if you're running Panther, or Tiger, you'll probably have HCRP.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Unable to connect internet using Bluetooth in my E...

Hi
Iam using Nokia E5.
Iam able to connect to mobile internet to laptop using USB connection,while using bluetooth for connceting internet iam getting below error.
"failed to connect to network.the modem is in use by another application ormay not be configured properly"
please advise how to over come this.

Same problem here with E72...well in 75% of cases, sometimes it connect easily, which make me believe the settings are correct.
Any news here? Does the problem lie with the computer or with the phone? Sometimes, but usually not, restarting one or both device helps.
Thanks,

How do you connect printer to the iPad?

How do you connect printer to ur I pad?

You need a airprint enabled printer to print documents directly but there is also an app on the app store called print central pro which lets you connect to any printer over wifi or over google cloud print.
Hope this helps :)

How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms

Otto Gold at the forum "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe" gave me the tip that Sandra Rossi in this forum might help me out. Here is the link to my original thread How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms
My question was:
Hi Experts!
Did anyone of you manage to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms? In order to save administration effort we use frontend printing in our ERP system. We just changed some SMARTFORMS to the new Adobe Forms technology. Now we learned that direct frontend printing does not work with these forms.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gerald

I think you'll be disappointed by a rather negative answer but I'll try to explain everything I know (or think I know) the best I can
The simplest solution is to do a preview, and print from Adobe Reader! (as I could see on one project, users have to display one more dialog than usually to print) It's the best workaround according to me.
How Adobe form printing works:
When you print an Adobe form from SAP, a printer language (PCL, PS, ZPL, PDF) is retrieved from TSP0B table according to the device type, ADS (Adobe Document Services, installed in the SAP java stack) is then contacted to generate the form: a file corresponding to the printer language is generated and sent back to SAP (there are also 2 other little files but it's of none interest here). SAP stores it as a file (named SPOOL...) in the global directory (DIR_GLOBAL when you use AL11 transaction).
When you ask SAP to print it, it sends the file as is to the printer.
Note: when you ask SAP to display the spool, SAP sends a request to ADS which will send back a PDF (binary stream which is not stored on disk, just displayed on frontend).
How frontend printing works:
If you want to print a normal spool via frontend, SAP doesn't know the language of the printer you will choose. SAP sends the spool in a format named SAPWIN to a frontend program named SAPLPD, it converts the SAPWIN format into GDI, a Windows format that is understood by all printer drivers, and it is sent to the printer driver (you have selected) which converts the GDI format into the printer language.
Any workaround?
First possibility would be that ADS converts the PDF into SAPWIN format (by creating an Adobe .XDC file at the ADS side). SAP says it's not possible in Note 685571 - Printing PDF-based forms. As I understand, SAPWIN is a very simple language compared to PCL for example, so it is very difficult to convert a PDF to SAPWIN without losing much information. There's a SAP note about the SAPWIN language if you want to check.
Second possibility is to print directly the PDF through Adobe Reader: you get the PDF from ADS, download it to the frontend (easy), and execute directly Adobe Reader print function. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's possible. Moreover, we should enhance the standard SAP print dialog...
Third possibility is the one I recommended at the beginning of this post

Thank you once again Matthew. I understand the importance of being thourough and followed your instruction exactly. I really thought that this would solve it and was ready to click 'This solved my question'. However I still have the same print options as before, no 'A1 on the roll'.
Although, when I copied:
'sudo pkgutil --forget org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip'
into Terminal it did say somehting along the lines of 'nothing found' (sorry I didnt copy the text). Could this be part of the issue?
In this case the instructions were incorrect. I forgot that the uninstaller would run that command. The reason for that command was to let the system know that foomatic-rip 4.0.6 had been removed. I am sure that you were able to then install foomatic-rip version 3.43.2.15. There are two ways to confirm that the older version is now installed. First, if you can print at all, it is present. You could also copy and paste the following command in the Terminal. It should respond with the version that is installed:
pkgutil --pkg-info org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip | grep version
Do I need to change the PPD at all?
There is no need to change the PPD. PPDs are reflective of the software (drivers) that are called from the PPD. You can put anything you want in the PPD. If that capability is not in the driver, having it in the PPD won't make it work.
Setting a job to print from A1 Roll Paper is a two step process. First you select the Paper Size which is A1.
Then look under the pop up menu below Paper Size for an item called Paper Feed.
Select Paper Feed. Then you will be able to select where/how the paper is being fed to the printer. This is where you can choose Roll Paper (Cut) or Roll Paper (No Cut) among other choices.
Other drivers may have A1 Roll Paper listed under Paper Size. Perhaps that is how the HP driver was. There would still have had to be a place, then to check whether or not you wanted the paper to be cut and/or whether you were feeding sheets of paper from one of the other paths.
Let us know if you can find all the options now and that you are able to keep your normal workflow.

IPad2 can't connect ipod2 using bluetooth
why? Can anyone tell the reason?

For what purpose are you trying to connect the two?
Bluetooth between iOS devices is limited to only specific peer-to-peer apps for specific functions (like mutiplayer games).
You cannot just pair the devices, you need an app that specifically uses Bluetooth for communication.

how can i poster print using my officejet pro 8600plus? my 8500 had this feature.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yes, the Officejet 8500 driver works with full capability on the Officejet 8600.
You do not delete the 8600 port, you just right click on the Officejet 8600, select Printer Properties, Ports and just find which port the 8600 is using. After you write this down click Cancel to exit this part. I would suggest you leave the Officejet 8600 driver installed, you can install the version with the Officejet 8500 driver and just select the printer you want at print time.

What printer using bluetooth will work with an android tablet

what printer using bluetooth technology will work with an android tablet

The iPad mini supports Bluetooth keyboards in the same way that all other iPad models have. There are not many keyboards available yet that are specially designed for the mini yet, but I am sure the will be soon. In the mean time you can use any Bluetooth keyboard that is designed for the bigger iPad, Mac, or whatever.

Help needed in printing pc to pc (printer) using bluetooth

I require to create a application in final year in which i have to print from my pc to another persons pc who has a printer attached (both pcs are bluetooth enabled using bluetooth dongles using Microsoft stack)
Do i have to use java rmi ??
How do i implement this ?? plz i need help !!!

Adrian, the GIMP Print drivers might have been
installed automatically when Tiger was installed on
your computer. They are for older model printers
whose own drivers aren't native for Tiger. They
might interfere with a printer's own driver from the
printer maker.
I think you may have supplied a link to the Epson incompatibility before spacesuiter. Could you please refresh my memory. I seem to recall the problem was a color shift that was noted on the higher end Epson printers. I have heard of no other specific problems associated with any manufacturer's drivers and any third party drivers including the Gutenprint drivers. I will say that the Epson drivers seemed flawed. They cannot see my SP 1280 if I have my Epson SC 800 attached with a parallel to USB adapter -- even an Epson adapter. That is not a problem with the Gutenprint drivers. As soon as I unplug the SC 800, the SP 1280 functions fine with the Epson drivers.
In Adrian's case, it appears to me that there is no provision in the Canon PPD for printing black. This is more than a color shift problem. The PPD for the BJC-2100 included with the Gutenprint drivers does contain provisions for Grayscale and Black(inverted grayscale) printing.

Printer Using Bluetooth

Hello,
I just got a Canon MP460 and also bought with it a Dongle bluetooth device to print from my Mac. I installed the Canon printer software. How do I set up a printer if I'm using bluetooth? I've looked in the manuals to both and I can't find where they can tell me step by step what to do. This whole bluetooth thing is fairly new to me so I'm confused as how to work with it.
Thanks!

if you happen to come back here and see this, please tell me (and everyone) how you did it. i seem to be having a similar problem and posted a question. (Currently there are no replies - there may be by the time/if you check the link.

Can I print to a Printer using Bluetooth

I am looking to setup a Printer using the Built in Bluetooth of my Ipad 2 and 3.
Everything I read, states that the Ipad uses a protocal that will only work with WiFi, and the AirPrint.
I have a need to print to either a wifi HP Photosmart device, or the request was made that I purchase a Bluetooth printer.
In looking online, there are many Bluetooth printers, but in researching which one may work for me, I see a lot of negitive, about apple ipads not able to use the bluetooth, in order to print.
Is this True, and if not, are there articles that would help me setup this feature on a couple ipads?
If it is true, then how do I setup the ipads to print to a Wireless Printer. I currently have no wireless printers in my Wifi network.
Any feedback would be appreciated on this subject, and how to resolve it.
Thank you.

You need an AirPrinter.

I have a need to print to either a wifi HP Photosmart device, or the request was made that I purchase a Bluetooth printer.
Apple does not supply BlueTooth printer drivers for the iPad nor will iOS allow you add print drivers.
Apple provides one dirver for iPad printering that is AirPrinter. That leaves you buying a compatible airprinter or additional software -- iPad applications for printer or more software/hardware elsewhere.
In a corporate environment you can add software to your severs to allow airprint to your existing printers.
Helper app -- /print n share. You cannot add a driver but you can add an app!
Print directly to the widest range of network or WiFi printers available in any app. Alternatively print via your computer to ALL printers including USB & Bluetooth printers. View read and display large PDF, Office & iWork files. Easily transfer & store files from the Cloud or your computer.

Buy another box
"xPrintServer enables wireless printing for iOS devices such as iPads® and iPhones® using their native print menu. It eliminates the need to print through apps, install software, or email yourself documents for printing. And more importantly, you don't need to buy a new printer because xPrintServer works with more than 4,000 top brand USB and network printers. "

You have to check whether this box supports your printer
