Is it possible using a bluetooth dongle......

I have a computer downstairs and also upstairs which is connected to my laser printer. If I plug a bluetooth dongle in each of their usb ports can I send documents to the one connected to the printer for printing?

thanks

Yes, i've set up simple networking between 2 PCs using Bluetooth before.

Unless you really have to, why not use wifi?
802.11g adapters are much the same price (if not cheaper), and a lot faster.

Thanks for the replies, I`m only going to be sending word documents and similar things, and my local supermarket is selling dongles for 4.99. What do the 802.11g adapters look like?( sorry I am new to this network thing :confused:

If I plug one of these in each computer then they will be linked faster and better? and I only need 2 of these for me to link my two computers together?
