[blindkid] BrailleNote Compatible Bluetooth-Enabled Printer

[DrV]

Hi Pat,

Are you still happy with the HP Officejet H470 with Bluetooth. Any quirks or 
problems with it?

I went to a couple of the computer stores last weekend, usb cable in hand, & 
we tried out a bunch of printers. None worked well.

The problem we are having is that the Humanware website list of printers is 
suboptimal in that those printers are all older models - I couldn't find any 
of them at the stores we went to. The BrailleNote doesn't seem to work with 
the newer printers.

Some of the printers on the Humanware website are listed on Amazon.com, but 
before I buy something without trying it out I am hoping you or someone can 
let me know of a printer that the BrailleNote will for sure print via 
Bluetooth successfully.

Any & all experienced input will be appreciated.

Thanks

Eric V
