I have a bluetooth thing that plugs into a USB socket.

My laptop has bluetooth built in.

If I get a usb gender changer that plugs into the printer, can I then plug the bluetooth thing into the usb changer and link my laptop to the printer via bluetooth?

Not sure which usb gender changer I need and what they are called.

    If the printer is Bluetooth enabled then it should be fine.

    I've never heard of a USB gender changer though... I'd think it'd be easier to just plug the printer in via USB

    I really just want to connect to the printer wirelessly, but not sure what I need to get that plugs into the printer.

    Sort of thought it wouldn't, thanks for confirming it.
