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 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.

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 .

I have a hp mobile printer with Bluetooth and my 4s iPhone does not detect it what can I do to set this up

My iPhone 4s does not detect Bluetooth

bluetooth is just a interface like usb drivers are still required
and in the case of ios devices an app made by the printer maker
not sure if hp support their bluetooth printers on ios devices but if they do it's with an app you get in the app store
bluetooth is not airprint enabled

Sharing printer with bluetooth?

Hi,
I have an iMac 2.8Ghz Intel machine with a network printer (HP Business Inkjet 1100 connected via USB to a HP JetDirect Ethernet bridge thing).
I need to know if I can share the printer on my iMac with computers using Bluetooth. The reason for this is that when my work laptop (Windows) is on the work VPN, I cannot access my home network which connects to my printer. This means that every time I want to print something, I have to disconnect the VPN first which is a real pain. The VPN client doesn't allow for local network access (it's the Cisco one) and it locks down all other network ports on the laptop except the bluetooth radio. I have tested this by sending files to the iMac whilst the laptop is on the VPN and it works.
I have shared the printer on the iMac and selected bluetooth in the sharing options, but have no idea how to proceed especially on the PC.
Thanks in advance if you can help,
R.

Ok a simple quick but not so very recomended way to print in a hurry.
Share the printer on a machine that has it installed.
Log on to the machine that has the printer shared and right click on the printer and select the connect option.
Now go to printers and it will be there.
Note that you can print only until one machine is re-started.
To print on another occation just logon to the computer that has the printer shared and exit. ( to establish a session)

HP Photosmart C5580 and MacBook Pro Snow Leopard wireless printer with router

I have a macbook pro OSX operating system and a C5580 HP Photosmart printer. I have spent hours with netgear as I did purchase a new router getting my macbook pro to print wirelessly. Whatever the fix it is temporary and my private tech has to take control of my computer to get to work again.
1. am I printing with bluetooth? through router?
2. what is happening whenever it gets out of sync and how can I fix myself?
3. computer says "idle" but shows device connected. I can print test page wirelessly, but not current document. Documents print when I connect with usb cable.
I felt I should contact HP since I think it is their problem though netgear has been very helpful. I understand that I do need USB to scan, but shouldn't have to have it to print. We have downloaded all of the most current drivers and software.

Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
If you loaded the HP software from the printer CD and unless your CD says it specifically supports 10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.
Answers:
1. No, routers don't do bluetooth. If they are wireless routers they use wi-fi (802.11).
2. I don't know, you have not told me enough about your symptoms or system.
3. Same as #2.

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.

Print quality problems with bluetooth Canon ip90 printer?

I've had this problem on prior PBs and the canon website is decidely NOT helpful so here goes....
I have a pixma ip90v printer with a bluetooth adaptor added to my MBook. It prints fine and I had no problems adding it to my new computer (it was originally used on a PBG4 and I had the same problem which is...) - every now and then the print quality goes to a light purple as if it's trying to save memory. Has anyone else encountered something like this?

Try resetting the printing system http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14141
You'll have to reinstall your printer after the reset.

Epson Stylus Photo RX680 with Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2 won't pair

This post describes my problem, but I couldn't reply since it has been archived:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7882399&#7882399
I am having the same issue with an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 and their Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2. I go to System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Set Up New Device, click Continue, select Printer, and click Continue. At this point, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant sends me to the Print & Fax System Preferences window. I can add the printer under the Bluetooth heading. It finds the drivers and adds the printer to my printers list, but a test page (or anything else) won't print. The job is added to the queue, but it stops trying to print after a few seconds. If I go to the Bluetooth System Preferences, I can see the printer listed (for a while), and I notice that it is connected but not paired.
If I run the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select Any Device instead of Printer, I see the printer in the list and can view the Passkey options. It is set to "Use a specific passkey", which is what I need. I have tried changing it to a different option and then changing it back, but it does not seem like this has an effect on how the printer is paired. I have never been asked for a passkey when attempting to add this printer, and I suspect that this is why I cannot print to it.
I have also tried enabling and disabling Bluetooth sharing, and this does not seem to have an effect, whether "require pairing" is checked or not. Isn't there some place where I can choose "Pair this device" once it has been discovered? I find it strange that I can connect to it but have no option to pair afterward (at least that I can find). To make the matter more complicated, the printer disappears from the device list in the Bluetooth System Preferences after about 30 seconds, so I have to remove the printer and reinstall it in order to see the it in the list again.
I am able to print to this printer using bluetooth from a Windows XP machine, so I don't think that there is a problem with the adapter. I am also able to print to this printer using USB, so I don't think that there is a driver problem. I believe (though I certainly could be wrong) that the issue is that the device is not paired. Can anybody help?
Thank you.

I was trying to find a way to use the Epson drivers because the Gutenprint drivers don't support duplexing or feeding out of the front tray on this printer, but at least this got bluetooth printing working. I downloaded the latest Gutenprint drivers (5.2.2), ran the uninstall program first to get rid of the old drivers, and then installed the new ones. I added the printer through the bluetooth heading in the Add Printer dialog, and I selected the RX680 Gutenprint driver (which was not available with the default OS X 10.5.5 installation). Once again, the printer showed up as connected but not paired in the Bluetooth System Preferences, and it disappeared from the device list after a few seconds, but printing works now. The print quality for this printer is much improved by the new drivers as well.
Bluetooth setup is mentioned in the user documentation. It's kind of a joke:
Macintosh computer: Double-click Bluetooth File Exchange in your Utilities folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
That's it. I have been disappointed with this printer on a number of occasions. If you are going to connect directly through USB, then it's probably fine. If you want to use any form of network connectivity, you had better be running Windows on any machine involved.
I'll talk with Epson support to see if I can get any further with their drivers. Since it's supposed to work, I'd like to see if I can get it to happen. Otherwise, I'll return the adapter and share the printer through a spare desktop.

I have a officejet h470 with bluetooth. can i print from my ipad 2?

Hi Jaypo53,
Unfortunately the iPad does not support Bluetooth printing. Only printing via WiFi is supported. Apple have their own proprietary printing protocol called 'AirPrint'.

08 Macbook, when printing with HP software, bluetooth disappeared

The CFO of my company came to me today with an interesting issue with his MacBook. This morning when printing 2 docs simultaneously by mistake using the HP printer software for his printer, his bluetooth icon disappeared in his system tray, and in his system preferences, even after rebooting, it's still gone. His bluetooth is no longer working. He's running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Any ideas?

I checked for a hp driver and the only one is this one http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=dj-13823-4 &lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=58152&os=219&lang=en
have a look at that and try that driver for osx and hopefully it works.

Using bluetooth printer with Iphone4 IOS5.

Is it possible to connect to e.g. Canon Selphy 780/800 from the iphone?
I'm doing a lot of scrapbooking and want to be able to print when I am travelling to update some of the projects I do. I have seen both the popo printer and the Canon Selphy printers which both uses bluetooth from mobile phones.....but does anyone know whether it will work from my Iphone?

not out of the box
to print one require a printer driver bluetooth is just a means to connect with
ios dont support 3th party driver
ios support a generic driver called airprint this is wifi no bluetooth and if printer makers follow that std they printers can be printed to from ios
many printer makers make their own printing apps and put them in app store for free look for a printer app from canon in app store to see if your printer is supported
