Summary: HP CB004A Bluetooth Printer Card
Comment: Excellent Price and works great with my Hp 460 Mobile Printer. Extremely faster than a Infrared on a 450 mobile printer.

Summary: Needs firmware update to work with the DJ 450
Comment: This product will not work out of the package with the DJ 450. You must update the printer firmware in order to get the printer to recognize the card. Since the printer was out of warranty I had to purchase a service contract from HP in order to find out what the problem could be and to get the firmware update. After the firmware is updated the printer will work fine after the printer software is installed on your computer. You can use the USB cable and save yourself some time, trouble and money.

Summary: I don't understand the negative reviews?!?!
Comment: I have what amounts to a portable office in my car; HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop in the passenger seat and a battery powered HP Deskjet 460 printer in the back seat that communicates with the laptop via the HP CB004A Bluetooth card.

The set up was easy and printing with this card works all of the time. I have no complaints about the speed for text and graphics. I also have several other devices in the car and nothing interferes with the signal when I'm printing.

I don't have internal Bluetooth in the laptop so I use an external USB device but I doubt that it has anything to do with how well it works. If anything I wish the battery charge lasted longer but I don't really have any complaints about this card.

Summary: Works well, but fragile
Comment: This is our second card. We use it with our printer out in the field. Made the mistake of sticking the printer wireless-card-side-down in the computer bag. Needless to say, it cracked off. Easy to set up to talk with all of our laptops...both times.

Summary: In concept, a great feature to add
Comment: The 460 is a great little printer, I bring it on business trips all the time, and people are always excited to see it (to print boarding passes, contracts, etc.)

I was interested in going completely wireless using the battery and this BT card, but it is SLOW. It's directly next to my laptop right now and it took about 5 minutes to print a page that took no more than 20 seconds over USB. The file was not that large either.

It is quicker to fly back home, pick up a USB cable, fly back, and use that cable than it is to print off a few documents over Bluetooth using this card.

But, in concept it would have been a great feature to add to an otherwise amazing and functional portable printer. (Now, if this printer could scan and fax over VoIP/IP as well, that would be orgasmic!)
