Good point! Yes it does, and so does the Macbook pro obviously. I'll give it a try, but I doubt it'll work since there's too much room between the MBP and the printer. The printer is about three rooms away and on the floor beneath where the MBP is. Lots of concrete between those two points too, and Bluetooth isn't exactly known for its wide range. But I'll give it a try.

Edit: No dice. It seems the printer needs an USB Bluetooth adapter for the Bluetooth function since the printer doesn't seem to have the Bluetooth transmitter built in. Needless to say, I don't have such a USB adapter. Bummer.
