Hi everyone!
I'm running some tests on a bluetooth adapter for printers.
It works fine when I print from the PC but I'd like to print with my BlackBerry...

So I created a small application which :
-Retrieves the paired devices
-Retrieves the services available for the device
-Connects to the selected service

I am able to retrieve the devices and the services.
There is only one service available for the adapter :
Bluetooth Serial Port
great!

Now I want to send data to the printer...

String URL = _service.getConnectionURL(ServiceRecord.NOAUTHENTICATE_NOENCRYPT,false);
            
            StreamConnection connection=null;
            try
            {
                 connection= (StreamConnection) Connector.open(URL);
            }
            catch(IOException io)
            {
            }
            
                try
                {
                    byte[] buffer  = new byte[100];
                    String msg = "hello there";
                    InputStream din = connection.openInputStream();
                    OutputStream dout = connection.openOutputStream();
                    
                    dout.write(msg.getBytes());
                    dout.flush();
                    
                    din.read(buffer);
                    dout.close();
                    din.close();
                    connection.close();
                }
                catch(IOException ie)
                {
                }
        }

I am able to get the URL but nothing happens when I call Connector.open(URL)
It doesn't crash or anything...
it just freezes there.

Any help?
(PS : I know that the printer won't understand "Hello There" ;) It's just a test)

I don't know enough about the API to comment directly, but I do know that without a parlay of elements (O/S, service & transport, to oversimplify) all hitting the right versions, the handset doesn't have HTML to rasterize.

I know of only one BT printer at the moment that has a BB driver, and it's limited by this; they're working on it and will have full BB drivers in (wild guess) 6-8 weeks.

I'm a reporter/reviewer - if you're prepping a BT printer for BB, send me a private message and I'd like to arrange to review it.

If your boss's name is Doug, I already have it.

Does anyone know how to connect a BlackBerry device to all the nearby accesible BlueTooth Handsets and then exchange data ?

Is it possible to have automatic Bluetooth pairing ?
