[Bluez-users] Belkin Bluetooth USB Printer Adapter

[Bluez-users] Belkin Bluetooth USB Printer Adapter

[Dave Givens]

Hi,
   I am writing to you as I cannot find the help I require on the net 
and the product manufactures will not help. I have a bluetooth printer  
adapter which I am trying to set up on Linux (Fedora Core 2, Kernel 
2.6.8). I have read Marcels web pages and downloaded the relevant 
software, but even though I have copied the bluetooth file into the 
directory as instructed and created an entry in printers.conf, the 
printer/adapter does not appear anywhere in the gnome printer software 
that I know of. It might be that I am looking in the wrong places, it 
appears as an item in gnome-bluetooth-manager, but the only chooses of 
printers in the printer configuration gui are dev/lp0 and ptal. Am I 
looking in the correct place? Is it a Fedora Core 2 problem? Have I 
installed the software correctly? Any help you can give me will be 
greatfully accepted as I have spent two weeks trying to get it to work. 
I have tried installing as a custom device, but it rejects even that.

thanks in advance

Dave Givens

actually the CUPS backend is included in bluez-utils-2.10 and I think
you should use this version, because the other is no longer maintained.
However the printers.conf file is gone and you have to setup your
Bluetooth printer manually by entering the URI.

Regards

Marcel

Hi Dave,

there must be a "Reply to All" button in your mail client ;)

you don't need to add the protocol, because the backend will identify
the support protocol by itself. Only fill in the BD_ADDR with the
colons.

Do you tried the web frontend at localhost:631 ?

Regards

Marcel

Marcel;
    Sorry pressed the right button this time.

    I tried using the web front end and still no joy.
    I tried to add a new printer (I have no printers attached other that 
the bluetooth link).
    I entered the name - test and location - localhost, pressed continue.
    Then I select the device 'Unknown Network Device (Bluetooth)', again 
pressed continue.
    Next I entered the URI - bluetooth:/00:02:72:40:80:A3/      and 
pressed continue again.
    Then I selected the make - Canon and pressed continue.
    Lastly I select the model and pressed continue and got the message
                               'client-error-not-authorized'
    Now I suspect that I have not set something up correctly, any help 
appreciated.

in the previous post I wrote "with", but meant "without". The URI for
your printer is "bluetooth://0002724080A3/". Sorry for the confusion.

Regards

Marcel
