Bluetooth Dongle for printing? (No network)

[SlipperyCat]

Is there a way to connect to a printer (which does not have Bluetooth built in) by using a dongle or Bluetooth Print Server type device that can plug into the USB port of the printer, without having to connect to a network?

So basically no network connection, only a Bluetooth communication process.

Are you talking about printing from a phone or tablet? If so we use this device

The goal is to supply a customer a printer with some type of adapter (Bluetooth) where they can unbox the machine, plug in this USB adapter and be able to connect to mobile devices (Android/iPhone) without connecting the actual device to the wireless network. So basically, Bluetooth communication only from a mobile device...yes.

Is there any product (small printers) on the market that can utilize this technology without messing with network setups.

Any Ricoh with the v2 Cheetah panel will support Bluetooth and NFC printing.
