    Resolved: Enabling Bluetooth dongle


    Hello

    How do I use a generic Bluetooth dongle? Device manager do see it and report that the device do work properly. When I try to connect , I'm receiving an error message: (translation)

    "Impossible connection"
    - Activate Bluetooth on this PC
    - Update your Bluetooth drivers ( done)

    What else could I do?

    Martin

    Did removed the device and drivers and re-installed

    What device are you trying to Pair with the computer? Bluetooth is quite useful with mice, keyboards and SmartPhones. Pairing is a two-step process, need interaction on both devices to accomplish the Pairing.

    Berton: Thanks

    Did removed and re-installed. Now It seems to work. I will post another question on how to print from an Ipad via Bluetooth to a printer connected to my PC

    What is the printer? I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600, the other day my wife went to copy and saw a message about an update on its control panel so she accepted it and now I have ePrint enabled [I didn't get back to the house til a couple hours later]. That gave me an E-Mail Address only for the printer, can print from any device that has Internet access and can send messages. After it prints I get a message in my regular E-Mail that a print job has been sent.
