Ho,

No this will not work as the printer has no way to install the dongle into it's operating system.

In order to make it wireless you will need either a wireless access point if the printer already has an ethernet port a wireless USB print server if not.

Look at model # PM111UW on www.startech.com for refernece.

Welcome to FixYa.

You have to configure the Bluetooth settings of the printer first. I assume that you have the HP bluetooth dongle on your printer.

Configure Bluetooth settings
You will need a USB cable to configure the Bluetooth settings
  • Connect a USB cable from your computer to the rear USB port on the printer.
  • Open the printer Toolbox.
  • Click the Configure Bluetooth Settings tab.
  • Configure the settings you want, and then click Apply

    Keep me posted.

Download the drivers & software for your Canon iP90v from http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010457.asp & install it. Once installed you should find the feature to allow you to connect bluetooth devices to the printer. Make sure you have the Mikomi Bluetooth dongle installed with the correct drivers & software.

yes vista, is non friendly as old oem hardware, so you must have a vista ompatible hardware. the bluetooth only works well bellow 5m radio, you can use a wireless router with usb port for printers, and your problem, is less confusing, but choose a good hardware, or else u giveup the printer.
