Bluetooth printer... (1 Viewer)

[Goodbye]

Would I be correct in thinking the following:

I have a Macbook with wireless shite and all that. Its the latest black one...

If I was to get a Canon printer.

Lash a belkin bluetooth adapter into the printers USB port.

Voila, I can print from the Mac wirelessly...

This true, or is the usb bluetooth for laptops or wahtever that dont have bluetooth?

Get yourself one of these

Why?

Can I not stick a 20quid USB adapter into the USB port of a printer and bobs my fathers brother?

 

[Goff]

Nope.

Doesn't work that way.

We use Airport here. We can go online and print from anywhere. The AirTunes thing is also good but annoying as it only works for audio from iTunes.

yeah... Beginning to find that out...

Also it would be cheaper to buy a wireless printer than to buy a cheapo printer and a wireless printer adapter

ah well

You can get wireless printers relatively cheaply.

A mate of mine got one in pc world oop north for about half the price it is here. I'll get details when I can and post them here.

Of course, if you do file and printer sharing (I'm sure there's a mac equivalent) set up correctly, you can print wirelessly without a wireless printer, so long as the main PC/MAC is plugged in. But that's not what you're looking for. So I'll shut up now.
