Using Bluetooth to print

[jwennet]

I would like to be able to print to my Epson 1280 via bluetooth, and have no idea about how printers work with the technology, or if it can even be used with this printer.

Your help and knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
J

The Epson 1280 does support Bluetooth with the Epson Bluetooth Print Adapter;

Thanks Bob.

Looks a little too slow for my needs.

Best way for wireless printing: hook the printer to a wireless accesspoint or router with a printserver.

Also, Bluetooth has a range of only about 10 meters. Compare to 802.11b with nearly 100 meters.

Most important of all is explained by this Apple Tech note ID: 61743

Apple Bluetooth software does not currently support printing.
