Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has had any success printing with their internal bluetooth upgrade. I have a Powerbook and a TR (soon with BT) and would like to get my printer (Epson CX5400) bluetooth enabled. Is there a recommended way to get my USB based printer into the bluetooth world (and work both with the mac and the tr).

Thanks

Why use Bluetooth? I just have an Apple AirPort Express hooked up to my printer and print through WiFi with my TR2, S170, and PowerBook G4.

this airpot stuff sounds awsome…  :drool:

Imagex, while reading their infos i found the ones about   printers .

here’s why .

here’s one .

There’s no advantate to using BT in this case. The TR and the PowerBook are both on the network and the and his Epson is compatable with the Airport Express. WiFi is faster and longer-range. The only advantage to BT would be the ability to use it with some PDAs.

i agree.. though a bt enabled printer can be very useful when going mobile.

The Airport Express is just as portable as that BT thing you linked to.

oh no. i was refering to something like the canon i80 w/ bt module that can run on batteries.

Oh. :blink:

Thanks for the responses.

The main reason I’m looking at BT instead of WIFI is that my TR is typically connected to my work network through a VPN network (AT&T Global Network). It has a forced firewall that doesn’t allow my TR to see anything else on my local network (and vice versa).
