Wireless Printers
Can anybody advise on the advantages/disadvantages of wireless printers versus bluetooth printers?
I already have a wireless modem(801.1g) operating my broadband and want to purchase a 3 in 1 printer.
Idealy I would like the printer to have both bluetooth and wireless (the bluetooth to connect to my mobile so I can print pictures directly.) and the wireless to print from my laptop)
I think connecting my laptop to printer using bluetooth is very slow. Is this correct?
Help please.

Hi
I bought a HP PSC2510 wirless printer, connected easily to my wireless network and can now wireless scan to or print from any machine on my network.
Works a treat.
Connectivity is Ethernet, Wireless 802.11b networking, USB
No bluetooth

I have an inkjet and a laser, both hardwired via USB hub to my main computer in my home office. The wife's PC and my laptop are both wirelessed into the system (D-Link wireless modem/router) so I can print to either printer from any machine.
