Printing via bluetooth

I need to create an application in which i need to send a file from a bluetooth enabled pc to another bluetooth enabled pc and got to print it there on a normal printer using java
How do i go about this ??
Firstly is it possible ??
Do i require RMI ??
Could anyone help with the code or useful links or anything
currently using javax.bluetooth and javax.microedition.io package
Thnx in advance

you want to send from
bluetooth enabled pc to another bluetooth enabled pcor you want to send it from J2ME application on device? and you are using
javax.bluetooth and javax.microedition.io packageIf you want to print from J2ME application, it is possible. for that you need bluetooth enabled printer too.
As far I know, using bluetooth you don't need to use RMI.
This may be useful

Print via bluetooth direct to printer

I have the 8330 BB Curve (my 3rd blackberry) and I am trying to print directly from my bb to a printer via Bluetooth. Now I was in a store and made it work with a multifunction HP printer. I then took home a Canon IP100 portable and got a bluetooth adaptor. Canon, however does not support direct printing, only HP. So I returned it and got a portable HP H470, but the wi-fi version (couldn't get the bluetooth one easily) and tried putting the bluetooth adaptor in it, but cannot get it to print. Any suggestions?

hello,
it is a HP H470 issue. Contact HP support and ask them if there is a way of using that device with a bluetooth adapter.

My iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth

my iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth. All it does in Settings is continually search for devices. I've rebooted the phone, as well as the printer. I even sat next to the printer with no luck. It did find the printer when I initially set it up.

Did this work for you in the past?
ios does not support bluetooth printers without extra software.

You need to buy the right printer.
The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi. So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.

Why won't dropbox documents print via bluetooth to a pima ip100

Why won't dropbox documents print via bluetooth to a pixma ip100 from a Mac Pro. The ip100 prints gibberish continuously until it is unplugged. There is no other way to stop the printing.

Pages can save documents to PDF format, but does not open them natively. Use iBooks or one of the many free apps available for that purpose on the App Store.

IPad based Printing via Bluetooth

Hello All,
We are working on ipad buletooth enabled printer.
We need to do program on the following for iPad.
The Requirement is:
We have an ipad that detects the nearby bluetooth enabled printer, then from the ipad we will give a print of document / pdf /any thing to the printer (the ipad that detects the printer via bluetooth).
Note: we dont want to use any third-party plugin's or apps from iStore.
Please let us know how we proceed further.
Thanks in Advance.
Vinay Guntaka.

Hi PogoPossum,
Thanks for your reply...! and thanks for your suggestions.
We are new to this apple enivronment
After searching no of forums We have an idea that ipad supports head-set & Keyboard (both are bluetooth enabled). Suppose let me explain our idea on this.
There is an ipad which is bluetooth enabled which detects an external keyboard(via bluetooth).
Suppose if i am not wrong from the external keyboard if i type some text (APPLE) then in the ipad (APPLE) will be displayed on a notepad or any app.
In same way vice-versa can be applied or not from the 2nd point? if possible i want to know the flow of communication b/w ipad to keyboard.
If possible then i want to emulate a printer on keyboard, is this is correct that we are thinking...!
Simply from the ipad i will enter some text (APPLE) the same ascii code is given to a printer.
I think i may be wrong also please correct..!
Thanks
Vinay Guntaka

Connecting to Printer via Bluetooth, documents print gibberish

Howdy,
I have a Canon Pixma iP100 and have recently installed the bluetooth accessory so that I could print wirelessly from my computer and iPhone via bluetooth. However, it won't work! I have sent documents to the printer from my computer and the documents come out in gibberish. Varying about 10 - 20 lines per page, it's become a real waste of paper and is getting to be really frustrating. Once it starts to print a document, it continuously spits out these pages of gibberish until the paper runs out as if there is no 'last page.' It does however print photos.
I also am unable to connect my iPhone to the printer. It will not recognize that the printer is available to connect so therefore won't print anything (documents or photos). Any ideas?
I've followed the Bluetooth Guide that came with the Canon Setup Utility and have set up the bluetooth preferences within it.
I have a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.5.8) and an iPhone 3Gs (4.2.1)
Thank you for your help!

Hi again:
Since the printer works when cable connected, it appears that he BT connection is the problem (not exactly a startling revelation! ).
You probably have already done so, but my next step would be to contact Canon (tech support) to see if there is a software update and/or a workaround. I am jumping to conclusions, but I suspect the Canon software is not playing well with your Mac.
Barry
P.S. There is no OS X setting that I am aware of that would cause what you describe. However, you could trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart. It would also not hurt to reset the SMC.

Sharing printer via Bluetooth

Hi,
Is't possible to share my network printers (or printers connected direct to my mac) to my mobile phone using bluetooth and Mac?
Why? I want to print my text messages directly from the phone and it can only print to bluetooth printers.

She should be able to print once she chooses your printer. (Of course, your computer needs to be turned on, since it's the one connected to the printer.)

How do i print via bluetooth?

I am trying to print to a mobile thermal receipt printer, but i am unable to pair the printer with my ipad. Is there a special app that i need for this, or is this somethat that needs to be programmed in an app to talk to the printer?

Ahh, defiantly good to know, WiFi is the only way then, darn.
We would have to make a mobile printer that has its own WiFi network on it then?

Can my hp photosmart all-in-one 7200 printer connect to ipad 2 via bluetooth?

I have a hp photosmart all-in-one 7200 printer with a hp blue tooth dongle. It works well with my cameras, but I cannot get my ipad 2 to recognize the printer.

Hi,
Printing via Bluetooth from an iPad is not possible due to iOS limitations, as Apple did not include the Bluetooth printing protocol in the iOS.
If your printer is HP Photosmart C7200, you may use the HP ePrint Home & Biz App to print from your iPad through your home network
However for the Officejet 7200 your only option is to look for any available 3rd party printing solution from the App Store.

Can't print on bluetooth printer?

I have a HP PhotoSmart C5580 A.I.O printer with bluetooth capabilities. I have been trying to set it up on my MacBook Pro (running on Leopard) for months now. My bluetooth is turned on, and the printer is listed under devices on the bluetooth. However, every time I try to print is wont connect.
I know absolutely nothing about bluetooth, so it may be a very simple thing that I am just missing.
help?

I have the same printer and I'm successfully printing via bluetooth. I first installed the printer with a USB following the instructions of the manufacturer (but I'm almost sure this step is not necessary) then proceeded with the bluetooth connection.
1.Open a document to print
2.Choose File>Print
3.In the printer pop-up menu where it says Printer choose *Add Printer*
4.A window opens, choose Bluetooth at the top of the window
5.Your printer should appear (the printer has to be on and with the bluetooth device attached)
6.Click the *name of the printer*
7.Click Add
The problem I have is that when I'm going to print a document in the printers list I have two Photosmart c5500, I select the second in the list and walas it prints. Probably the USB installation was not necessary.
At this moment I can't scan via bluetooth but I think I read that the scanning option is not available via bluetooh.
Hope this helps.

Hi Tomiwa,
You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.
