HP Deskjet 460c InkJet Printer Logo
Posted on Feb 09, 2010

I can't connect to my HP Deskjet 460 via bluetooth, only via cable (usb). I have installed the printer via cable, and then I try to install the wireless connection via "Add a bluetooth unit" in the "My bluetooth locations" section (in quotes: translated from Norwegian). My PC is an Asus EeePC laptop with WinXP. The printer works fine, both via cable and bluetooth, with my Dell XPS (Vista). Regards, Irene

Is your Deskjet still in the default "Private" mode? If so, change it to the "Public" mode.

In the toolbox, go to the printer services tab and choose configure Bluetooth settings. Change the mode to public mode.

I have an Acer 5321-1805 laptop and installed a Medalink version 3.0+ class2 dongle, but I can't print on my hp 6980 deskjet printer which also has a dongle installed. It pairs, but the printer driver...

Welcome to FixYa.

You have to configure the Bluetooth settings of the printer first. I assume that you have the HP bluetooth dongle on your printer.

Configure Bluetooth settings
You will need a USB cable to configure the Bluetooth settings
  • Connect a USB cable from your computer to the rear USB port on the printer.
  • Open the printer Toolbox.
  • Click the Configure Bluetooth Settings tab.
  • Configure the settings you want, and then click Apply

    Keep me posted.

I cannot get my HP deskjet 932C installed again. I disconnected it to have my computer repaired. I did unstall and re-install the software, but am still getting the same message that it cannot find LPT1....

To begin with, here is a link for the user guide for your printer:

HP 930C User guide (Even though it says 930, your 932 should be nearly identical.)

Page 40 begins the setup instructions. If you are going to use the parallel printer cable, the printer port must be enabled in your BIOS. What did you have "repaired"?

It would be easier to get a USB cable and connect it with it, that is if you have a USB connection.

What operating system are you using? That may help me understand your problem better.
