I have a brother HL-2070n, a D-Link DBT-320 Bluteooth printer adapter, and an ibook G4. the computer and the printer are transferring data, but after a few pages of, say, a 7 page document, garbage starts to print out at the top of the paper rapidly and refuses to stop unless I basicaly turn off the printer.

Any ideas? Is this method fixable?

If not... I want to print from the printer wirelessly. I do not have a network, and I do not wish to have one. Any ideas as to how to do this wirelessly without a router or network?

Thanks for all your thoughts, they are much appreciated.

I have the same printer.

Presuming your iBook has an AirPort card, you could purchase an AirPort Express unit, plug the printer's ethernet in to the AirPort Express, and print wirelessly. I print wirelessly to mine all the time.

You don't need to setup an internet router or any other networking. Just consider the AirPort Express a wireless ethernet printer connector. And it'll work with a far better range than Bluetooth. You could also share the printer wirelessly with other computers, too (either Mac or PC) if they have wireless cards, too.
