I'm trying to hook up a wireless USB Bluetooth printer adapter. It is an
AmbiCom BT-PA about two years old. It worked when I bought it, but
hasn't been used for a while. My laptop sees the printer (paired with
it) over the BT connection, but will not print. I think the problem is
in that the laptop indicates that the connection is through Com Port 12,
(the serial port if I am not mistaken, though I could be) when it is connected to a
USB port. I see no options to change the connection in the computer. I
have a serial to USB adapter from my Palm Pilot days, but I need a male
to female USB adapter to hook it up. Does that seem like a reasonable
plan, or am I way of base here? If I need to buy some new hardware, or whatever, I am willing.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

The settings in the all-in-one Brother MFC-7840W that I was trying to hook up needed to be changed. Turns out that it connects nicely to my wireless network with no additional print server, bluetooth or otherwise, needed.
At finally dawned on me that if the computer "paired" with the printer, the connection was there. There had to be something in the printer that was stopping printing. Duh....
Well, it says on your home page that you don't mind dumb questions......

Glad you got this one, apparently nobody here had any idea, so the question wasn't all that dumb!
