How Do I Connect My Bluetooth Printer To My Laptop?
by admin on พ.ย..30, 2009, under Deskjet Help Forums
I have an HP dv-5 1125 laptop, and i’m pretty sure it’s blue-tooth capable. i just got a printer, an hp photosmart c5580 and it comes with the HP bt500 bluetooth usb 2.0 wireless adapter. now i’ve tried connecting it but my laptop won’t pick it up, i’ve gone to start then printers then add a printer then to the wireless, bluetooth setup, but it won’t find it, and the adapter is connected to the printer and on and working. so how can i get it to connect with out me having to go buy a usb cable?

I’m not familiar with your setup but here are some of the things you may need to do.
Before looking for the printer you need to put the printer into discover mode. There should be a recessed button to press at the printer.
You may need to discover the printer before trying to add it. On your computer open the Bluetooth controller. This will either be an icon in your system tray or it can be located under control panel. With the printer in discovery mode click whichever button you need to look for new hardware.
Good luck.

Are you “pretty sure” or are you SURE your laptop has bluetooth? If it does, it has to be active and find the printer. Did you say you bought the printer recently? So, why don’t you call HP (since the printer and the laptop are made by HP) and ask them? Look in the manual of the printer for the phone number of HP tech support and call them. They cannot blame it on the laptop because it’s also HP.
