Default Pairing with a printer [YES - Bluetooth printing IS possible.]

Please Login to Remove!

Bought a belkin bluetooth printer adapter to work with thin print on 7100i. passcode for pairing is "belkin". How do I get the keyboard to input letters? Seems only numbers are available.

*If* you pair, how do you expect to print?

EDIT: Nevermind 3rd party software to do it.

Default Please see www.content-beamer.com

No financial interest. I am just following the instructions in the manual. I now have a menu item that says print. All I need is to pair with a bluetooth printer.

TO READERS - IMPORTANT:
YES IT IS POSSIBLE TO PRINT VIA BLUETOOTH FROM BLACKBERRY NOW.

To print from a BlackBerry via Bluetooth, you need to download the Bluetooth utility from one of the BlackBerryForums sponsors, www.content-beamer.com - by Thin Print.

This utility adds the "Print" menu option to your Bluetooth BlackBerry.

There is a free trial download too. Go try it out.

Default Thanks, but....

I am still unable to get this to work. Can not pair with bluetooth as the pairing is rejected bythe belkin adapter. After talking to tech for belkin the secret passcode which is no where in their manual is belkin. They also think 0000 will work. 0000 does not allow pairing and I can not get belkin printed out with the 7100i keyboard. Ideas?????

Default Thin Print

Content-beamer, are you there? No luck getting this to work. Have tried to pair and have sent in activation request as described in manual. No response. No function. No more software.

All, printing is still NOT possible!

I could see it a being extremely useful. I work for a large insurance company. When agents travel to the home office they typically use their BlackBerries instead of carrying laptops. Sometimes they need/want to print emails or calendar entries. Being able to print via bluetooth to a near by printer would be extremely well received.

What is useless to one is a necessity to another. When I first saw a BlackBerry all I could think was "Who in their right mind needs/wants to be connected to their email that much?". Obviously, I have since changed my view point.
