[blindkid] BrailleNote Compatible Bluetooth-Enabled Printer

[Pat Renfranz]

Hi -
Yes, Caroline continues to have good luck with the printers listed below:
    HP Deskjet 6940 (with an HP Bluetooth adapter)
    HP Photosmart D7260 (with HP Bluetooth adapter) a very nice photo
printer
    HP Officejet H470 with bluetooth (this is hp's mobile printer) kind of
pricey but very small

She is using an m-power, no big upgrades lately.

I agree that the Humanware list of compatible printers is terribly out of
date. It¹s scary that the current batch of printers are apparently not
compatible.

You might also try asking on the NABS list? The older students are pretty
savvy about this stuff.

Good luck!
pat
