This section contains the following topics:
•Find the device name and address
•Set Bluetooth security for the HP Photosmart
•Use a Bluetooth® connection to print from your computer
Find the device name and address
Some Bluetooth devices exchange device addresses when they communicate with each other, so you might need to find out the device address of the HP Photosmart in order to establish a connection. Also, some Bluetooth devices display the name of the printer when connected. If you do not want the default name displayed as the name of the
HP Photosmart, you can change the device name.
To find out the device address of the HP Photosmart

Use a passkey to authenticate Bluetooth devices
You can set the security level of the HP Photosmart to either Low or High. The default security setting is Low. Low level security does not require authentication.
•Low: This is the default security setting. Low level security does not require a passkey, as it does not support authentication. Any Bluetooth device within range can print to it.
•High: High level security requires a passkey, as it supports authentication. The Bluetooth device must provide a passkey, before the HP Photosmart will allow the device to send a print job to it.
NOTE: The HP Photosmart ships with a predefined passkey that is set to four zeroes "0000".
To set the HP Photosmart to require passkey authentication
1.Touch Setup on the display.
2.Touch Bluetooth.
NOTE: If the menu option you want is not visible on the screen, touch 
or

Use a Bluetooth® connection to print from your computer
A Bluetooth connection provides a quick and easy way to print images from a Bluetoothenabled computer without using a cable. With a Bluetooth connection you can access many of the same printing features as with a USB connection. For example, you can check the printer status, as well as the estimated amount of ink remaining in your ink cartridges.
24 Finish setting up the HP Photosmart
Before you print, you must connect an HP bt450, Printer and PC Adapter with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology to the HP Photosmart.
You must have Windows XP or Windows Vista and either the Microsoft Bluetooth® Protocol Stack or the Widcomm Bluetooth® Protocol Stack installed in order to connect the HP Photosmart. It is possible to have both the Microsoft Stack and the Widcomm Stack on your computer, but you use only one of them to connect the HP Photosmart.

Use printer sharing
If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an
HP Photosmart connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer sharing.
The computer directly connected to the HP Photosmart acts as the host for the printer and has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client, has access only to the print features. You must perform other functions from the host computer or from the control panel on the HP Photosmart.
To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer
