Set up a Bluetooth connection
A Bluetooth connection provides a quick and easy way to print images from a Bluetooth-enabled computer without
using a cable. With a Bluetooth connection you can access many of the same printing features as with a USB
connection. For example, you can check the printer status, as well as the estimated amount of ink remaining in your
ink cartridges.
NOTE: The only software functionality available with a Bluetooth connection is printing. Scanning and software-
based copying cannot be done over a Bluetooth connection. However, stand-alone copy functions are still
available.
Before you print, you must connect an HP Bluetooth Adapter to the HP Photosmart.
