Can someone please help me with setting up my HP 8250 printer to use the bluetooth option with my mobile phone.
I have put a bluetooth dongle in to the printer and activated bluetooth on the phone, then searched for new device, I then get the message on my phone saying under devices found, Photosmart 8200 series.
If I press the button to add the printer, I am asked to enter passcode for photosmart 8200 series. Now this is where I have the problem,apparently the default code is 0000 but when I enter this number I get the message passcode mismatch.
I have therefore been in contact with HP support who told me how to reset the passcode in the printer, I have reset the passcode to a new number but this still does not work, I still get the message passcode mismatch. I got back to HP support who then asked if I was using a HPbt300 bluetooth adapter as they said that this was the only one which was compatable. I replied that I wasn't using this adapter but a generic bluetooth dongle. I have asked them if I can by one of these adapters from them but they seem to be evading the question, and I can't seem to be able to get one anywhere.
They havn't come up with a solution, but my understanding is that my bluetooth dongle must be compatable with the printer as I am receiving a signal on my phone from the printer saying photosmart 8200 series found. The problem is that I cannot pair the devices because it will not accept a passcode. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Kevin.
