Mmm Bluetooth can be a bit flaky at times. I would prefer a proper wireless bit of hardware.

It depends what you're actually connecting to it.

You'll need to add either a bluetooth dongle or wifi adapter to the laptop (if it doesn't already have one), and the same to the printer.

I'd go with a wifi print server as the range is better and easier to connect to.

wifi will be more expensive though
