Is it possible to branch a pinter with ethernet in a way that I can reach it with my notebook via bluetooth? Is there a special printserver maybe? The printer is an aging Lexmark 543C that however does a marvelous service. It would be really handy to have him respond via BT....
Any reason you don't want or can't use just ethernet/wifi ?
Knowledge and convenience I guess. I could maybe use a ethernet - wlan adapter on the printer. But: Using wlan for printing would require to change everytime firewallsettings on the laptop which is not so comfortable. BT printing would be very convenient.
It depends on your setup - I would just connect the printer to a local hub/switch, most probably your access point or router has a few empty sockets. The changes to the firewall should only be needed once. I think it _is_ possible to run tcp/ip over Bluetooth, but when I looked into it last year (for my son's schoolproject), it was not straight forward. Back then we wanted to connect a (browser on a) Samsung tab to a (webserver on a) Raspi. It was much easier getting the Raspi to run as an access point. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
