Bug Description
I have applied the workaround of bug 1070770, running bluetoothd under valgrind to prevent it from crashing. See
https:/
After successfully connecting my Bluetooth keyboard I tried to connect with a Bluetooth printer, the Photosmart Premium C309g-m. To do so, the "bluetooth" CUPS backend needs to detect the printer. On a standard Intel-based computer I get
till@till:~$ /usr/lib/
direct bluetooth:
till@till:~$
On the Nexus 7 the same call of the bluetooth backend does not show any answer and never exits, probably hanging during the communication with the printer.
Using the bluez-tools on the Nexus 7 I get:

Error: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

The error message of the second command only showed up after waiting some seconds.

An additional remark: THe attempt to connect to the printer via the "bt-device -c ..." command makes bluetoothd crash.
