silly question but is there any way to print to my bluetooth enabled pc via bluetooth connection from my diamond?

the printer is just installed via a usb connection.

I just figured that bluetooth is tricky, and only works when profiles are offered, any way around it.

thanks guys.

yes plug in a bluetooth adapter, and find it on your phone, im not too sure about after that, but i know for a fact that it exolains how in the manual.

I consulted the manual but no luck in what I'm trying to do. The manual mentions the use of a bluetooth printer which I do no have.

any other ideas guys or is this not possible. thanks again.

install the bluetooth dongle on your pc, sync it with your device, then you can go to my bluetooth places(on your pc) and go to the services tab, and just pair up your diamond with the print service on your bluetooth services and you should be able to print, backup, push and sync your contacts and move files(though that's really slow) but it's all there. I have a motorola bluetooth dongle. I have my diamond and my S9 connected to it.

if your printer has the USB port for digital cameras you can put a USB bluetooth adapter straight to the printer and then sync printer and phone. It might work. I had used a bluetooth adapter in that same port on my friends printer to print from my laptop via bluetooth. I know not quite the same but adding the dongle the camera port on the printer will make it a "bluetooth" printer so in theory.....

I can print from my Diamond to my HP LaserJet at home via the BT on my laptop. You just have to make sure that the printer is shared on your PC/laptop and you should be good to go.
