Photo impression vs transfer to the computer via Bluetooth.

I have a Photosmart 5550 AIO, which comes with a Bluetooth dongle for printing from a cell phone.  It works fine when you have successfully completed the installation.

I wanted more that print photos so I tried to move the Bluetooth dongle into the USB port on my computer - instead of the printer.

I downloaded the Bluetooth driver from the HP site and installed.

I can now print photos directly, or, copy/move them from the phone to the PC.

It allows me to edit the photos before printing.

Just thought I'd post my experience for others.

I have a wireless network with the Photosmart designated as a shared printer on the network.  I use the Bluetooth dongle on a computer that is not directly connected to the printer 5550, but sits on the wireless network.

Thanks for the tip!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones No micro sd, data connection, simply to transfer photos and other BlackBerry to the computer via a usb port

    Very well. So I don't have a data plan on my blackberry, so no not web email, I use it strictly for telephone calls, text messaging and taking pictures. I want to transfer my photos and my text messages sms from my phone on my computer. I would also like to transfer my ringtones if possible but I won't push my luck on this one here. I don't have a microsd card in my phone, so everything is recorded directly on the phone itself. I tried to connect my phone to my computer via the usb port but it does not allow me to go into things phone and copy on my computer. I also downloaded and tried the blackberry desktop manager, but he wants me to turn on the storage of mass media that will not help me because there is no microsd card in my phone. I want to record everything on my computer because I bought a new phone that is NOT a blackberry and I want to have my files on my computer. Can someone help me please?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Try to download and install an earlier version of the desktop as the BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.6 software.  You should be able to download it here: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22

    Which works best?  Another option is to get the CD that came with your phone and install the original version (assuming you still have it).

  • Using ThinkPad XP, cannot send files from mobile phone to the computer via Bluetooth

    Dear Sir, Miss

    I am using my computer (ThinkPad, Windows XP for the sounds played in my cell phone and sent via bluetooth to the computer. Apparently the functions of connection and the computer receives something from cell phone (the "Bluetooth connection status" window indicates that millions of bytes are received by the computer.
    However, I cannot hear anything in the computer and I don't see anyway to influence the volume or audio properties for direct information received by bluetooth to the speakers.

    Can someone explain what I would do to this topic?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Jacques

    Hi JacNasy,

    ·         Other sounds work well?

    Check to see if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Log the computer manufacturer's website and check to see if there is an update audio drivers. If so, download and then install to check the issue.

    Method 2: Try to set up the Bluetooth connection again and see if it helps.

    Hey there, Crutch03

    If your keyboard does not work, can you try to use a USB keyboard?

    Your touchpad does not work? Your touchpad on the Dell is the mouse, and usually, it lies below the space bar.

    How long have you had this computer?

    When did you start this problem?

    The problem, I think, is with the keyboard. If it does not meet what buttons you press on, then this is the device, not the operating system.

    If you do not have an external keyboard or mouse, you can plug in your laptop, please try following the steps in this Jack in charge article here: http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN115351/en#Notebook_Keyboard

    I hope that this will help solve the problem in a way. If the touchpad does not work, you can use the on-screen keyboard which can be found in the accessibility settings in the lower left corner of your screen, with a symbol that looks like this:

    Please let me know how it turns out for you

    What you're missing is the codecs for your videos are in the file format.

    Try the VLC media player. It will easily play most file formats.

  • Sony VGP-BMS30 mouse does not connect with the computer via bluetooth

    Hello

    I can't get my laptop Windows 8 to find the Sony mouse!  I checked and all the settings are correct. Blue tooth is on and wifi etc...  Packing instructions mouse Sony are for Windows XP.  What is the problem?  It is not compatible with windows 8?
    I checked and all the settings are correct. Blue tooth is on and wifi etc...  Packing instructions mouse Sony are for Windows XP.  What is the problem?  It is not compatible with windows 8?

    It's an idea.  A few months ago I downloaded Broadcom.com fresh Bluetooth drivers for my laptop Sony VAIO Windows 7 x 64.  Just in case, because I don't use Bluetooth at all so far.   There is a Guide to Broadcom Wireless Bluetooth in my folder Bluetooth in the start menu, maybe you have also.  You could also ask a Sony VAIO support forum, or even to buy the mouse USB cable is cheaper than you can get up to find a solution for your wireless mouse.  No kidding, without cable you'll need a battery.

  • How to transfer pictures from the phone to the computer via a USB cable?

    I just bought a Tundra VA76r and universal mini-USB cable at a local store AT & T. I downloaded the "v3.9.0 USB driver for Windows 32-bit" on the Motorola support site, I have Windows XP SP2 on my desktop Dell. The driver is described as follows:

    This USB driver is used for connecting your Mobile from Motorola phone to a Windows® computer via a USB cable to charge your phone or to access the data on your phone. This USB driver supports most Motorola OS, Linux OS, Motorola, Motorola iDEN, Motorola Symbian/UIQ, Motorola Windows Mobile® and i-mode of Motorola phones.

    I installed the driver and the load function works. My phone USB connection type is MODEM. However, I am not able to "access the data on my phone" as promised in the description of the driver. The phone is not recognized in Windows Explorer. All I want to do is to transfer pictures from the phone to my computer. The price for Motorola Phone Tools ($50) seem expensive for such a simple task. An adapter for my desktop computer bluetooth is also in this price range. The tundra is incompatible with the feature of this driver? I'm doing something wrong with the installation of the phone? Please help me to get the driver to work... Thank you

    Best way to do this is to configure your phone USB setting of "memory card".  Go to Menu-settings-connections-settings USB online online online, select the memory card.

    Once this is done, connect the phone to the computer, phone will be recognized as a removable disk. Go to my computer.  Under devices you'll see removable drive F or G depending on your drives (can show two if you have a card as well.  Memory card is usually the drive at the top of the page.  The phone memory is lower by car).

    Click on the drive (IE. F, mobile - if memory card).  Here you will see audio, music, photo, etc.  Once here, you can get, drag and drop a file on your computer.  Make sure that you create one or more folders for your files on your computer.

    The same also applies if the transfer of files from your computer to your phone.

    I find that this method is better than to sync the phone.

    I hope it will work for you.  Let me know if it doesn't.

  • I deleted my phone after the backup of photos were also deleted from the computer and iCloud

    I have an iPhone 5 and after upgrading my phone and transfer pictures, my computer screen went to sleep while he was removing all transferred photos off my phone as I walked away. When I went back and opens the screen, deleting was stopped, and even if I tried to have the iPhoto to delete 517 photos that were transferred, it would not be. So, while my phone was still connected to the computer, I scored manually 88 photos on my phone, following on the computer, ensuring that each photo that I retreat the phone had been transferred to iPhoto. Then, I went in the "recently deleted" on my phone and deleted those as well, so they do not take place. When I got back to the computer for the next round, I realized every photo that I had just deleted my phone also disappeared from iPhoto! I even checked iCloud and they weren't there. How can I recover these 88 pictures I deleted from my phone and why the hell did remove it from the computer?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Note: My operating system is OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 / / iOS on my iphone version 9.2.1

    iPhoto or the new Photos application on your computer?

    Note that if you have settings > iCloud > iCloud library enabled in your phone and if you have the menu Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > Photos - Options > iCloud library enabled in your Mac, all the photos you delete phone, the Mac, or directly on iCloud will be removed from all 3 places. Intend to iCloud photo library must synchronize all your pictures on all your devices and iCloud. More information on iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support
