Ok before we get too deep.. let me tell you what I want to do,,,
I do not have a bluetooth printer,, but I do have a printer attached to a computer that has bluetooth on it,, I am looking for a way to print to that printer through the bluetooth on the pc...
I know that my bluetooth adapter on my pc doesnt really have the option to allow this directly from its stack, im sure there must be some software or something,,

any help would be appreciated..

Thanx

Might sound dumb but could you just share what you want to print with your computer then print out what ever you like...Seem's logical or is that not what you would like to do?

You'd have to have a BT adapter that lets you communicate with your networked printer, don't know if that is available

That's why I said networked printer and BT adapter

My computer is a Pc at my office,, it is actually used for a point of sale... it has built in bluetooth,,
I can transfer files to the computer using bluetooth and obex,, and print them
manually,, but if I was going to do this,, I would just use the computer instead of the phone...

besides this pc is usually busy with customer traffic,,, it would be easier to just walk by it,, hit print on the phone and walk away....
