I bought a Brother Bluetooth printer and returned it because it was awful (I mean it was really, Really, bad at wireless printing). But my old HP printer (over a decade old) still works wonderfully (I think it’s a 1006 —not wireless). I’m wondering if it’s possible to plug a USB Bluetooth adapter (the little thumb drive sized adapters used for wireless keyboards and other devices) into a the back, so we can use it as a wireless printer. I would plug the Bluetooth adapter into a “USB Female to Printer Male Adapter” since the printer cable/input is a USB-B. Then, in theory, I’d pair to the BT adapter through my iPad or other Apple devices so I can print shipping labels from the other room (about 20’ away), without having to turn my computer on to print.
is it possible? Has anyone tried it? I was so disgusted with the wireless printer I returned that I really lost faith in Wireless Printers altogether!! It was so bad, and my early-21st century HP still prints like a champ.
I'm not picky about BT 4, 5, 5.2 whatever… I just want it to work so I can fulfill my wife’s dream of having a wireless printer that works! Lol
