I'm thinking of connecting my two computers at home using bluetooth adapters.
I know you can use bluetooth to share files between computers but is it possible to share printers??

If I look under properties for my "Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver" it contains the service for "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks".
So it should work in theory, but have anyone tried it?

I only have bluetooth on one of my computers so can try it myself.

Yeh in theory its possible , and in theory it would work just like a wired lan except without the need for a hub...

But unless you got a bluetooth printer or a bluetooth printer server you couldnt directly connect to the printer , you would have to have the printer connected to another computer and shared then access it through the network.
