Bluetooth is a powerful wireless technology that
lets your computer discover and share devices. Connecting a printer using
Bluetooth is simple.
1
Make sure your printer is Bluetooth enabled. Some printers come this way (read
the manual to verify) but others require adapters. Shop online or visit an
electronics store to find an inexpensive Bluetooth printer adapter.
2
Set up your adapter. All you need do is connect one end to your computer and
the other end to your printer and it will install itself.
3 Turn
on the printer. Make sure it is connected to a working electrical outlet and
the printer power is on correctly.
4
Open Bluetooth devices on your PC. After installing your Bluetooth adapter, go
to the control panel and open "Bluetooth Devices."
5
Add
printer automatically. This is less secure, but easier. From the options tab,
make sure the options "Turn discover on" and "Allow Bluetooth
devices to connect to this computer" are checked. Your printer and
computer should then find each other automatically and begin working. If you'd
rather not let other devices discover your computer, follow steps 6 and 7
instead.
6
Add device manually. From the devices tab, select "Add Device" and
run the installation wizard to find your printer.
7
Use
the "Add Printers" wizard. You can also add the printer by
clicking "Start" and "Printers and Faxes" and then
"Add a Printer." When the wizard pops up, select "Bluetooth
printer" and Windows will search for your printer automatically.
