This is a 15 years old printer. Did you buy it with Bluetooth adapter option ?

  

The adapter may be too old too but BT should be backward compatible and you can connect it to your computer. I don't think there is a driver for it since it is too old.

You can print photos from a digital camera which supports PictBridge using the USB cable that came with the camera

It may not be able to connect.

The product was introduced in 2004

Specifications 

I don't know if Bluetooth adapters have changed significantly in the last (almost two) decades - you could try a different bluetooth adapter.

There has not been printer software for this printer for a number of years.

If you connect the device with a USB cable, there is indication in the Software and Drivers category that the Windows print drivers may be sufficient to at least provide for basic print functions. 

I am not at all sure "basic print functions" would include a modern day memory card.
