Which Devices Can Connect to a Bluetooth Printer?
Last Updated on August 14, 2023 by Christian Ralph
Are you having trouble deciding whether or not to invest in a Bluetooth printer? If you’re unsure whether you’d use this extra connectivity option enough to justify the selection, we’ve put together this guide to help you understand the benefits.
Desktop Computer
A desktop computer is often the primary printing device – so many users are content to connect via USB. Despite this, Bluetooth and wireless printers can remove the need for wires when printing from a desktop computer. Even if the desktop computer is the main printing device – a Bluetooth printer can simplify the process of adding additional devices.
Laptop Computer
Having to keep a laptop computer plugged into a printer removes one of its key features and benefits – mobility. A Bluetooth printer could allow you to print from anywhere in the home of office – allowing you to sit and work at your leisure.
Smartphone
Removing the need to painstakingly email yourself files from your phone to a dedicated printing device, Bluetooth connectivity makes it easier to print direct from the phone. With the trend continuing towards larger smartphones with higher resolution screens it has never been easier to complete work tasks on a phone.
iPad & Tablet Device
With hundreds of millions of iPads and other tablets now sold for business and recreational users, the devices have gone from novelty items to common household products in less than five years. With the capacity to complete many of the same tasks as a desktop or laptop computer, iPads with Bluetooth connectivity are one of the biggest users of Bluetooth print technology.
With many people now choosing to invest in iPads instead of desktop and laptop computers, Bluetooth-connected printers will only grow more useful.
iPod
Possibly one of the least likely devices to be utilised for printing, iPods and other Bluetooth-connected MP3 players can be used with a Bluetooth printer. This functionality can be best used on the iPod Touch, the model which includes picture-taking and editing tools.
Smartwatch
Trends and projections suggest that by 2018, Smartwatch technology will be widespread and used by significant numbers of people. It’s still early days for the Smartwatch, and we may not know exactly how consumers will use them day-to-day, but the Bluetooth connectivity that they offer could be an efficient win for mobile printing.
