    I'm not exactly sure how you would do this, but make sure both devices are discoverable to each other and enter the password (usual default is 0000). You should be able to pair other bluetooth enabled devices, like your cell phone, to the printer as well.

    I, myself, print over wifi.

    Hi

    What Windows version is your laptop (also laptop make and model) using and what make and model printer do you have?

    I've got a Dell Precision M70 running Windows XP Pro that I recently replaced the system board on and a Lexmark X4690 AIO inkjet printer. The wifi printing worked with the original system board as well.

    If wifi hadn't worked for some reason, I could have used USB. But since I'm always using the laptop from my kitchen table, I didn't want another cable hanging out of the back of the laptop. My power adapter and ethernet are doing this as it is.
