k750i bluetooth or ir printing

Posted by thelight
Now that i have a phone with a semi decent camera id like to be able to print out some photos without actually having to touch my pc.

I have a printer attached to my pc. The pc is bluetooth enabled but the printer is just attached via a usb cable. Im not seeing any print via bluetooth options in the menu's. Is this just a feature the k750i lacks or is it because the bluetooth dongle in my pc lacks a printing feature? The dongle is a msi btoes.

The other option I have is via IR. My printer is a HP990cxi which has built in IR for printing. If I try and send the photo to the printer, it prints gobbledygook.

Ive been trying to print via the file manager, and via the hp print application, but the application only ever detects a memory stick as a printer.

Help appreciated...

Look in the Applications and you should find HP Print, which is an application for printing via Bluetooth. Haven't tried it out myself yet (due to no BT printer) but that should do it.

I have been trying to use that app. My printer itself isnt bluetooth, its attached to a bluetooth enabled computer. When I tell hp print to find printers, all it detects is 'memory stick' and no bluetooth. Am I to assume my relatively old bluetooth dongle doesnt support the printing profile?

You don't even have a BT-enabled printer, or a BT PRINT adapter, so I am not sure how you can get the BT print profile.

I was hoping that there would be a way to share my printer over bluetooth, in the same way I share my printer over my network with other computers.

Sharing printer over a BT network? There's a sea difference bet. normal wan/LAN.
Infact if your Dongle's S/w wizards lists 'printing' as one of the services, well n good.

But then w/out a BT printer, one has to- has to rommance the computer.
