3) Inquire for the HP printer. Discover its services.
4) Right click on the InBox service and select Send Calendar Item from the resulting
menu. A file chooser will result. BTW will send your calendar item. The printer will
print it. Use the Files of type pull-down to select either *.ics or *.vcs, then choose the
file that you created and click on Open.
NOTE: This works for a *.vcs file but does not work for a *.ics file. An error message
results: “The item could not be sent to (device name). Error: The request could not be
honored.” This appears to be a printer error rather than a BTW error. The printer does
not seem to accept the *.ics format. To work around this problem, simply use the *.vcs
format instead.

3. BTW and Printer Setup
This section will describe how to install BTW and the HP 995C print drivers so t hat your
computer will correctly support the printer over Bluetooth. Once this process is complete, you
will be able to use the HP 995C just like any other printer under Windows. The only difference
will be the fact that there will be no direct physical connection between the printer and your
desktop or laptop computer.
NOTE: The HP 995C printer comes equipped with a USB cable. This cable is not
required when you are using the computer over Bluetooth. The only wire that is required
is the power cord which connects the printer to the wall.
