Printing from 6600 "thru bluetooth pc" to printer

    Is it possible to print from my Nokia 6600 via bluetooth, thru my PC (with a standard bluetooth dongle) to my printer? (standard USB printer)

    Basically, its a peice of software that listens for prints sent via bluetooth and spools them to the printer like any app, eg: word.
    or maybe emulates a bluetooth printer and then does the actions above.
    Does such a software exist??

    any help greatly appreciated.

    the Series 60 Printing Tool uses the Basic Print Profile which is really only implemented in supporting Bluetooth printers or adapters that connect directly to the printer

    the device you are sending the 'print job' to needs to support this particular profile in order for it to work (e.g. a supporting printer), I haven't come across a Windows implementation that can handle BPP connections for routing to a connected printer

    thx for reply. i searched the net for an hour but could only find answers regarding hardware bluetooth printer adapters.
    Im sure its not impossible to do, i would also write a program, only dont know much re bluetooth, and i really wouldnt have a great use for it, just handy to have i thought.
