Thank you marcel,

but that I tried. I installed bluez-cup 2.9-4 from testing, and tried to add a
printer using a browser via http://localhost:631.
No Bluetooh protocol is offered. So I choosed "ldp/lpr host or printer" and
enter the URI according to your example.

Client error and protocol not know error followed. When I use the KDE Setup, the
same

/usr/lib/cups/backend/bluetooth exists. printers.conf does not exist but is not
really necessary - as far as I understood the documentation - as long as I type
in the URI directly.
But even if I use your examples of printers.conf (found a newsgroup posting of
you) - the same

So...

Any further idea?

Again Many thanks in advance

Best regards

Michael
