    in order for the cel phone to be able to print wirelessly to the printer in the truck, does my printer have to have "Bluetooth" or just be "wireless"

    I think wireless is Bluetooth and Bluetooth is wireless.

    sour, at the risk of sounding dumb I got a question for you.
    IF I don't have WIFI internet access, lets say im in a dead area, can I still print from my phone to my printer?

    I have an HP laser printer that creates it's own wireless network so I can print anywhere. In fact I've been known to be printing permits as I pull into a weigh station and have them in hand by the time I pull around back.
