I have a Bluetooth MacBook and a USB printer.

How do I turn the printer into Bluetooth - can I buy a dongle to plug in the back of the printer that would normally house the USB printer cable?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can get a bluetooth dongle, as such, but you can get things like this

which will allow you to connect by wifi


PS... Found this but cannot find it on Belkin site http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Bluetooth-USB-Printer-Adapter/dp/tech-data/B0001Q17NW/ref=de_a_smtd

I thought all the MacBooks had WiFi as well as Bluetooth? :confused:

Regardless, lots of Bluetooth USB printer adapters (http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=144022) about, just more expensive than WiFi ones.
