Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth
I can pair a Bluetooth printer without problems: I click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray, then I click "Setup new device ...", and in the upcoming dialog I click "Forward" and wait for the printer to appear in the list. Then I click "Forward" again and the printer is paired.
The problem is that I cannot print yet, as I also need a print queue. Especially many users think that they canm print now.
My suggestion is to add the following two features:
1. When a printer is paired, fire up system-
2. If there is a printer paired to the system, let the menu of the bluetooth-applet contain an entry for the printer with a sub menu only containing "Configure printer" and clicking this opens system-
If gnome-bluetooth has access to the Bluetooth hardware address and device ID of the printer, call system-
system-
(the hardware address and the device ID have to be replaced by the ones of the printer actually discovered). Otherwise system-
system-
This makes it much easier for users to complete the setup of their Bluetooth printers.

Not that I know lot about printer configuration with bluetooth but I have one question. Do you have cups-bluez package installed? Does the presence or absence of that package make any difference?
