trouble setting up bluetooth on photosmart 8250 [ Edited ]

[zeeky]

I am trying to set up bluetooth printing on a photosmart 8250 using the BT500 adapter.  I'm using a HP pavilion dv4 laptop also with Vista.  When I try to set it up i keep getting a message to install a driver for HPPhotosmart 8200 series_BT and asks me to insert the disk that came with the printer.  But after I put the disk in I get a message saying the drivers were not found.  Then windows searched for the correct driver but was not successful.  I looked on the HP site for the correct driver and could not.  Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks.

The solution I found was to use the HP Photosmart B8500 Series BT driver.  I've only used this solution for a few days but everything has printed fine so far.

Is your solution still working?  And...  Can you provide some instructions for:

1.  Where can I download the B8500 Series BT driver?

2.. how do I install it?

I have not been able to find that driver on its own through HP without the entire software package that comes with it (maybe i need to install that also??).

Thanks for your help.

go and set up the printer manually thru the wizard and use the set up for local printer with bluetooth connection.
