Generic Bluetooth dongle ok for printer?

I have a Canon photo printer (Pixma MP450) that supports an optional Bluetooth unit (Canon BU-20) for printing wirelessly. Would a generic USB bluetooth dongle (~$20) work instead or would I need to buy the Canon adapter (~$80)? The Canon adapter also uses a USB interface. Thanks!
 
That being the case I would not be surprised if they've engineered it to only work with their particular adapter. It's possible you could buy something else and fiddle with it enough to make it work... but I wouldn't count on it.
