I've got a new office printer, an HP 2015D. It is network ready but no built-in WiFi or bluetooth. This is strictly a black-white laser printer. I want to connect it to my laptop via bluetooth versus WiFi because while my employer is OK with bluetooth devices they frown on personal WiFi networks. I really don't want to set it up on our company ethernet either.
So I see that HP, Belkin, and others make bluetooth printer "hubs" that slip into the USB port of the printer. My question is, do I have to get one of those specific hubs? Why can't I just get any bluetooth usb transmitter/receiver and plug it into the printer then connect to my laptop? At it's basic bluetooth is just a wireless 2-way communication tool right?
I'm probably missing something but I look forward to your help.

the nornal bluetooth wont be able to connect lapi with printer... getting signals is not only enough but bridging the networks is equally important...
