Hello everybody even though i got few posts regarding blue tooth communication but adding this post saperate because of mobile and printer feasibility with solution i am proposing a solution to one of my client to have a printed receipt via blue tooth enable mobile and printer, no computer there. i selected following cell phones. Nokia6600 Nokia7610 (due to cost and rough usage) if you people think should i use any other do also suggest) Printers i selected 1- HP OFFICEJET H470 Mobile Printer series 2- HP DESKJET 460 Mobile Printer series or 1-HP Laser Jet + Bluetooth adapter so in my pt. of view j2me application will communicate to the printer via bluetooth using Nokia 6600 & any HP mobile printer should work, if is there any constraint do let me know please. another important question I read an article using atinav sdk. but unfortunately i didn't find it on the link. so any simple article using only j2me api and printing simple text on printer. In other possibility i am thinking what if blueoot enable mobile at one side & bluetooth adapter(dongle) at pinter side, i can use the conventional printers, but later i think that where driver will be installed? since no PC will be there . please do let me know if i am wrong. i will appreciate your comments and feedback thanks

I'd guess that the easiest solution would be to setup a Bluetooth Printer Profile client app in your mobile device and use that to handle the print requests. I've had some fun looking all that up, but have to run, so for a start, you might want to look at the BPP specs at http://www.bluetooth.com/NR/rdonlyres/28EC09DC-1598-4889-9B7E-3E8D9803FFBA/2940/BPP_SPEC_V12r01.pdf I haven't found out if anyone's done a J2ME package for this.

One of the most odious afflictions that Business has inflicted on the modern English language is "pro-active". Most of the time it's simply redundantly used in place of the simple old word "active". And a good deal of the rest of the time it means "You're not overworked enough yet, so go out and find more!"

thanks Tim i am looking into the URL you sent. do you have any idea of atinav sdk? i think they have removed thier SDK from the link they have placed in their web site So, at first step i am looking for the proof of concept of this printing excercise using j2me client(JSR-82) 1- Nokia 6600 2- HP OFFICEJET H470 Mobile Printer series

It looks like they're defunct. For a mobile device, however, you'd normally already have a Bluetooth JSR-82 client as part of the phone's Java environment. It's pretty much got to be that way, since different hardware would require different low-level Bluetooth code. You might want to check Nokia's developer docs and forumnokia to see if they have BPP builtin to the 6600. If not, you'd probably have to do it the hard way, writing your own JSR-82 based BPP package. At least you have the specs!
