Bluetooth - is this possible?

Having a debate with my friend, he reckons he can print to a USB printer if he attaches once bluetooth dongle to the printer and another to his computer - fact or fiction?

Fiction, the printer cant function as a usb host.

His friend is suggesting it works just by plugging in a USB dongle... I wish lol. I need a print server as I am sick of moving the printer around the house when I wanna print. We have some dongles lying around

oh well... [gets wallet out]

Some printers - e.g. the HP PS325 - have the option to support Bluetooth printing from a compatible phone. This is probably what he was getting confused about, the K750i for instance has an "HP Print" application that searches for printers via bluetooth.
