Pairing impossible with printer HP Photosmart D5160

[Daniel Lupulescu]

Binary package hint: bluez-cups

In Ubuntu 8.10 When I try setup new device bluetooth find printer but in next step pairing fails, it doesn't promt for pin. Printer it's not detected if I try installing via new printer. It was working in previous releases with add new printer. The adapter works with my phone and it pairs fine, but others adapters with newer revisions are detected but unusable. That's another bug, btw.

Printer has no pin, or 0000
Printer is Hp Photosmart D5160.

Can be duplicate of Bug #284994 but printer it's not discovered by cups wizard and some newer adapters are unusables.

When you speak about others adapters, you mean you have several bluetooth dongles and some don't work at all ? If that's the case, please post the results of lsusb with the not working adapters (I think it's bug #289836).

If I understand correctly you also have one bluetooth adpater that works fine (device detection) but canot pair because of bug #284994 ? If that's the case, please post the results of

1) hcitool scan
2) hcitool inq [bluetooth address]

Thanks

Ok Daniel, I will report your printer problem upstream.

As for Bus 003 Device 006: ID 1131:1004 Integrated System Solution Corp. Bluetooth Device If it doesn't work in several distro, I encourage you to :
1)report the bug to bluez component of the kernel : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/
2)create a new bug here on launchpad and link it to the kernel bug you created
3)subscribe me (jonathan.ernst) to the launchpad bug

If you agree I will now consider this bug as a duplicate of bug #284994 (for the printer part).

(I have also sent 0a5c:2123 to http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids so that lsusb will show the complete name of your dongle next time)

Upstream bug for your printer (in case you want to subscribe) : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560762

I could successfully connect to the bluetooth printer (HP Deskjetc 460) both on Hardy and Intrepid. Basically, you have to configure the printer first in the Printer Configuration utility through System->Administration->Printing. In there, you should be able to see your bluetooth printer being automatically detected in the available printer list in one of the dialogue boxes there.

It's not working for me, tried that (Printer Configuration utility through System->Administration->Printing) and the printer isn't shown.

Hello

I have found a temporarily solution for pairing keyboard less device like GPS unit.

1) First operations is finding the GPS device address with this command:

hcitool scan
Scanning ...

 00:13:F1:01:40:AE BT-GPS 0140AE

 00:18:8D:11:5F:F3 Zinux6680

Record the BT-GPS address, this is used later.

2) Enable the authentication on the pc blue-tooth dongle.

sudo hciconfig hci0 auth

3)Create a connection with the device
sudo hcitool cc 00:13:F1:01:40:AE

Now a popup menu request the pin for the device, insert it.

And for printer add i Found this:

In CUPS web config enter device uri without dots (0013F10140AE)

pairing in GNOME is done by bluez-gnome, changing package.
