Print servers are cost-effective compared to buying a new wireless printer.
Have you ever struggled to share a USB printer across multiple devices? For small offices or homes, converting a USB printer to Bluetooth can simplify printing while ensuring stability. Let me walk you through the most effective solution.
A Bluetooth print server, such as the LY-MPS-WB07, connects to your USB printer via its USB port and transmits print jobs wirelessly using Bluetooth technology. From my experience, this solution works best for anyone looking to simplify their workspace and eliminate the need for messy cables.
Key benefits of Bluetooth print servers include:
Our print server was specifically tested during the R&D phase using ZEBRA printers (without Ethernet, WiFi, or Bluetooth functionality). When connected to our print server, both Bluetooth printing and LAN printing were tested successfully, ensuring 100% compatibility with ZEBRA printers.
Setting up a Bluetooth print server on your Windows or Mac computer is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to connect your USB printer wirelessly using a Bluetooth print server.
Using a Bluetooth print server to connect your USB printer to a smartphone is a convenient way to enable wireless printing. Follow these steps to set it up efficiently.

Q1: Why is my Bluetooth printer not detected by my device?
From my experience, this usually happens when the Bluetooth adapter isn’t properly connected. I recommend double-checking if it’s securely plugged in. If that doesn’t work, I would unpair and re-pair the device or check if the right driver is installed—this has solved the issue for me in the past.
Q2: Why can’t I print even though the printer is connected?
Whenever I’ve run into this, it’s often due to a driver issue. I recommend checking if the correct printer driver is installed on your device, as that usually resolves the problem.
Additionally, I’ve found that the printer’s port might not match the Bluetooth print server’s port. To fix this, I’d check the printer’s port settings and ensure they align with the server’s (e.g., COM3). Double-checking the Bluetooth connection status also helps.
Upgrading a USB printer with Bluetooth functionality is simple and cost-effective. Using a Bluetooth print server like the LY-MPS-WB07-NC, you can enjoy wireless printing without replacing your existing printer. With proper setup, it ensures stable connections and compatibility with multiple devices for home or office use.
