I found a D-Link bluetooth adapter that will work with a printer to do wireless printing through bluetooth. I have some questions for anyone familiar with this device?

Can a hub be attached to this device to allow 2 printers to be connected at once?

Can a scanner be attached to this device and function normally?

I would assume the answer would be NO to both, but that is just an assumption.
I was actually trying to seek documentation stating that the dlink print adapter would even work in os x. It only mentions windows in the tech specs

Bluetooth is painfully slow for all but the simplest of applications. Scanning one A4 page at a decent resolution will take minutes, and any printing apart from text will be just as bad.

Anyone know of a OSX / HP printer driver that is bluetooth compliant?

I am using an older anycom BT / parellel adaptor on a HP952c. The Mac sees the BT adaptor but cannot find the proper printer software.

Running OS X (10.4.1) on a pb12" rev A with the latest HP driver download installed.

Thanks,

joseph
