I googled a bit, and it seems BT printing is mostly used with phones. With AirPrint app for Apple, or Cloud Print app for Android, on the phone, and corresponding firmware on the printer. The easiest would be to buy a gadget that already does it all (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth print server). Seems to cost about $50-$60. <https://smallbusiness.chron.com/bluetooth-vs-wifi-printers-55566.html> Doable in Linux perhaps if the protocols are published and you are a hacker. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cloud_Print> ... Applications print through a web-based, common print dialog (web UI) or an API. The service forwards the job to a printer registered to the service. Cloud Ready printers (which connect directly to the web and do not require a computer to set up[2][9]) can directly connect to Google Cloud Print. As legacy ("classic") printers cannot accept input from a cloud service, Google Chrome 9 contained a "Cloud Print Connector"—which lets printers plugged into a Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac, or Linux computer with Internet access use Cloud Print while the connector is running in Google Chrome.[2][9][10] ... Planned discontinuation Google announced in November 2019 that Google Cloud Print would no longer be supported after December 31, 2020.[6] Google cited improvements in native Chrome OS printing as well as a marketplace of other print solutions providers in its decision to terminate the service.[18] Privacy Documents printed via Google Cloud Print are sent to Google's servers for transmission to the printer. Google explains, "Google also keeps a copy of each document you send for printing - but only for so long as the printing job is active and not complete. We have to do this to make sure your document gets printed. Once the job is complete, the document is deleted from our servers...Documents you send to print are your personal information and are kept strictly confidential. Google does not access the documents you print for any purpose other than to improve printing."[3] - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
