Epson R300 printer and Bluetooth Question

Hello All,
I am buying a Epson R300 for it's CD/DVD printer features. It also can use Bluetooth. I do not know much about it.
What do I need to get my computers to print to the Epson R300 without using cables?
Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks all for your input.
Well the range shouldn't be a problem. I think about 15ft at most. The printer will be at the central location between two other computers. I read the Epson pdf and ordered a Epson Bluetooth adapter for the R300 printer. I'll get back to you all with my findings.
Thanks again.
 
Update:
I received my Epson Bluetooth adapter and it works great. It talks to my other computers with a cheap CompUSA USB bluetooth adapters. The only thing is that the computers using the bluetooth connection to the printer can not use the monitor software. That is ok for me.
 
I have just tried this for the first time with an old bluetooth dongle I have had for years (Bluetake, POKE2". It works, so I recon any old bluetooth dongle will work. Why bother? Well it is very handy to print a picture from a mobile phone, instead of connecting it, as you have to search for the specific picture you want on a very (by todays standards) poor screen, and sometimes it only gives you a list like "PIC 1, PIC 2, etc". Of course you can email it to yourself, download it on your pc and print it that way, I could even put the dongle into my pc and go that route, but hey, now my Epson R300 is wireless! ish.
