Is it necessary i buy this bluetooth adapter for CANON PIXMA iP100 mobile printer?

you only use it if you want to go wireless, if not, you do not need to buy it

You don't have to buy it. But if you would like to be able to sit the printer up say on a table and not worry about having it plugged in to your laptop all the time then I would spend the extra money and get it. I use mine all the time on the go. and I like the fact that it can run off a battery and is also wireless and don't have to worry about all the cables laying around as I use my laptop and printer.

I don't know. I have a PIXMA MG6320 which was listed on the compatibility list for the BU-30. Don't trust the list. Call Canon Tech Support for the truth.

I looked at the specs... I didn't see any other port option for the USB print server. To tell you the truth... I believe you would be better off just buying a printer with bluetooth built in. Printers today are not that expensive.

Canon website says bluetooth v2.0 AND USB 2.0 hi-speed. So looks like you can go either way.

unfortunately NO, but this model is Canon PIXMA iP7250 Inkjet Colour Printer, check it out, for inks try INKredible or CISS system

I doubt it unless you have a printer that has Bluetooth receiver built in. None of my three printers would work. Sorry.

Both are same Bluetooth adapter ( BU 30 ). Click connectivity to check your printer compatibility at http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/product-accessories/printers-scanners-mfp-accessories/bluetooth-wireless-adapters I hope this will help. Regards,

I am using this with a Canon printer which eliminates having to use a USB cable. If you are trying to connect 2 blue tooth enabled devices it will probably work.

If, indeed, your printer is Bluetooth 2.0 capable then this should work for you. I have two Bluetooth capable printers and this dongle works for both. However, if your printers are not already Bluetooth capable then this will not help you. This dongle makes your computer Bluetooth 2.0 capable. Hope this helps.

No, this is not a wireless printer. But it's a great Printer, built like a tank. I've been using a IP6600D for 10 years and it's never failed to work. Prints great photos. I also have a IP6700D printer, it's just the latest version of the IP6600D. I just notice the above post about printing wirelessly from your infrared-enabled mobile camera phone, or a compatible Bluetooth device using the optional USB Bluetooth adapter on the IP6700D Printer. I wasn't aware that the adapter was available for the IP6700D printer.

I figure out you can connect your printer only via Bluetooth or intranet or using adapters. It has only USB, HDMI, Ethernet & headphones INs

I honestly don't know. I tossed this cord after I discovered that it would not work with the Canon PIXMA MG2220 that I had ordered. As you are aware, the USB cord does not come with the printer (shame on Canon). So, I ordered an extra cord. Well, the cord wouldn't even fit the connection. I tossed it in the trash and ended up using the one I had from the defunct MP560. Sorry, I can't help you with your question.

Rocky A. I suspect it will work with an Android device if that is your question. If it does not work directly, go to Printer Share and they will give you a free trial to see if it will make the connection between your device and the printer. It worked with my Pixma IP 100 which surprised me. If it does not work I guess you can probably return the BU-30.

This was purchased as a gift for my daughter, she has a 5, we bought the adapter as well, it seems to be working fine, the other option is that it is wi fi compatible, the pics can be sent through your wifi network to the printer...

No, your printer does not have the ability to run or install drivers to "drive" the Bluetooth device....the USB hub on a printer is only capable of reading image files

This printer has no bluetooth capabilities. It works with USB flash drive, Sd memory card and a direct usb connection with a laptop or desktop computer.

yes, as long as your printer is pict bridge compatable you can use the blutooth adaper to transmit from your camera, blutooth cellphone or your computer with blutooth. I have done it with all three devices.

You should have a printer that has wi-fi or that is cloud-print ready. It works on my canon printer with no problem. It's a pretty cool system.
