But I have to say I cannot find anywhere in the code or in the documentation how to achieve the above task. Simply put, should we not be able to set up the stack to emulate a Bluetooth enable printer and be able to pass print data onto the normal printer functions of CUPS etc. ? Now before anyone starts misunderstanding me I am NOT talking about printing TO bluetooth printers (using the CUPS driver) but printing TO a Linux box that identifies itself as being a compatible bluetooth printer. Obviously the advantages of this are enormous by converting any CUPS attached printer into being a bluetooth enabled one. So my question are : 1) Is this feasible to implement a printer class into the Bluez stack or it is a userspace problem? 2) If it is the right thing to do via the stack how would it best be implemented? 3) What extensions/ API's ought we attach to a generic printer class so that data can be exported to the normal print subsystem. I realise I am very new to the whole bluez codebase and so fully admit I don't know all the specifications and capabilities of it, but hopefully someone here can stop me from making a complete gaff if this is already implemented and I am just too clueless to see it. Anyway, thanks for your feedback any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
