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.
