BlueTooth Questions..

[Nickyct]

Could someone please sum up on how blue tooth works for me. I'm a little confused.
I want to relocate my printer and don't want to run cable. I just went to newegg and found whole bunch of bluetooth adapter there. Do I have to install any hardware in my PC in order for the PC to comunicate with the adapter that I plug into the printer.

Thanks

Your computer will need a bluetooth dongle. You should be able to find a USB one that will work.

The software supplied with this product is 1.2.x.x. Is there a newer version for this dongle, such as 1.4.x.x ?

I cannot find it anywhere.
