Help - USB

[Wolfdale75]

Hi Guys,

I've got a laser printer that I want to add a Bluetooth to USB adapter to, so my laptop can send Bluetooth data to the printer which is then received by the Bluetooth add-on receiver which is plugged onto the printer's USB port. I've found lots of Bluetooth-to-USB adapters that have a USB "a" interface. Unfortunately the USB port on my printer is USB "b" (square-shaped).

Can anyone help?

It would help to tell is what printer you have and also what laptop and network arrangements. For wireless printing wifi may well be a more appropriate system than bluetooth, it's longer range and wifi print servers seem to be readily available.

Unless your printer has bluetooth capability, I don't think what you're trying to do is going to work. I haven't seen a USB to Bluetooth adapater that acted as a simple USB bridge.


I did find this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833316223 But I can't really find anymore information on it. You'd have to get a A-female to B-Male cable to try it out.
