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.

Hello dwighthomer47,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone is not connecting to several bluetooth devices. I would recommend that you read the part about being unable to find the other device, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections - Apple Support
Bluetooth disconnects, intermittent connectivity, or unable to find
Move your iOS device closer to the Bluetooth accessory.
Position your iOS device and Bluetooth accessory in direct line of sight of each other. For example, move the Bluetooth accessory and iOS device to the same side of your body.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if performance improves.
Check for sources of potential interference and move both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory away from other electronic devices.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN, and APN settings.

Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

Won't connect to ipad via Bluetooth

why won't my iPhone connect to my iPad via Bluetoot?

Well, I should have asked Pagancelt not sleeky as he said above he says he DID it.
I quote:
Re: iPad won't connect to iMac via bluetooth
Apr 29, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to mccass)
I was successful in connecting my iPad and 27" iMac via bluetooth for the purpose of internet sharing, so it can be done. I was able to use my iMac's free wifi connection (which the iPad couldn't pick up, as I don't want to stand by the window) to get internet on the iPad. I forget how, unfortunately, which is why I'm back in the forums - my connection went down!
*Edit: Foolish me. My iMac shows up under "Devices" on the iPad Bluetooth pane in General Settings. All I had to do was tap it to revive the connection (since I paired the devices the first time I set up the connection). iPad is now getting internet off iMac again :-)

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

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.
Helper app -- /print n share
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.

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.

Iphone won't connect to tomtom via bluetooth after ios 4.2 update

Lovvvveeeee this phone but what the $&@!'

Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Why won't Apple support printing to mobile 3 rd party printers

Why won't Apple support printing to mobile 3 rd party printers

It's up to the printer manufacturer to provide an app for printing from. Many do, and any support AirPrint which is what iOS devices use for printing.
It's not Apple's job to create printer drivers for every third party printer on the market. Printer manufacturers provide drivers with their products.

When I get the Please wait... message and have the latest Adobe update why won't the document open?

When I get the Please wait... message and have the latest Adobe update why won't the document open?

What is your operating system? Reader version ("latest" means nothing)?
Is this a local or only PDF? If online, in what browser?

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.

My HP Deskjet 3050A won't let me print via my laptop!

I've had my printer quite a while now (about 3 years) it is a hp deskjet 3050A and has been set up with wireless. It prints off fine when I send something via Iphone, Ipod or Ipad over wifi, but when I try to send something via my laptop over the wifi (new toshiba with windows 8), it wont let me. How do I sort this problem out as I do not want to get a new printer. Why won't it let me print from my laptop?

OK so you have a new computer with Windows 8. You did install the new software and drivers for Windows 8 right? This always has to be done.
Download and install the full featured software and drivers from here.
