Sending photos via bluetooth to printer

[notnoid]

Is there a way to set up a printer or computer so that you can transmit a photo via the bluetooth feature on you cell phone? I've seen this work at the Walmart photo dept. You call up the photo on your cell phone, select 'send via bluetooth' and hold the phone near the Kodak printer and out comes the picture.

Now I've tried this with my home PC (HP Pavilion) and printer (HP Deskjet F4210) and my phone can't 'find' the printer.

I suppose that some sort of hardware modification may be needed to send photo's to a given printer via my cell phone but have no idea what to do.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

It would seem your printer is not bluetooth capable. Per the specifications from HP:

Bluetooth wireless printing: not supported

So, this is why it's not working for you.

Thanks for the info. I am now wondering if there is some way that bluetooth can link up with my PC and send digital files to my PC which are then stored for printing?
Thanks for your help,

Without going the bluetooth route, most cell phones will connect to your pc via a USB cable, this way you can just upload the photos off the phone. Going the PC route and bluetooth, this again would depend on whether your computer has bluetooth already installed.
