SCO (handsfree), A2DP and AVRCP are supported by the bluetooth-alsa driver
http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net

BPP, depending on which way you want to use it, is a bit of an issue at the
moment. I haven't yet found a server that lets my PC accept print requests
from mobile devices and print them through CUPS. However working the other
way, CUPS has a bluetooth backend that supports adding queues for bluetooth
printers (I believe using HCRP).

OPP and FTP are handled just fine by KDE's 'kdebluetooth' package, if you have
it installed, bluetooth:/ in a konqueror view should give you a device
listing, double clicking a device icon should display supported profiles, FTP
is called "OBEX File Transfer". In OPP's case, sending a file from a device
to the PC should automatically open a dialogue to facilitate recieving it.
Sending files is as easy as right clicking them in a konqueror view and
selecting "Actions> Send with Bluetooth...". Gnome's bluetooth utilities
should have similar funtionality, I cannot comment further as I've never used
them.
