I have an HP Laser Jet MFP M29w printer. It is connected with USB to my laptop and my laptop in connected to my local wifi and has bluetooth turned on.
However, I can not get the bluetooth on the printer to work so I can print from my iPhone.
When I press the Bluetooth button on the print it just flashes and does not show up as an option for connect to my iPhone.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi @CoachSparkman,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I'd like to help!
I understand you are trying to connect the printer to the network and print from iphone.
Convert USB setup to Wi-Fi .
Connect with the full-feature driver using a temporary USB connection
Install the full-feature HP print driver, which includes HP Printer Assistant (Windows) and HP Utility (Mac) software, to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network using a temporary USB connection.
NOTE:
HP Tango printers do not support setting up a Wi-Fi connection with a USB cable.
Connect the printer with a temporary USB connection (Windows)
Use HP Printer Assistant software, which comes with the full feature HP drivers, to connect the printer to the network by temporarily using a USB cable connection to transfer Wi-Fi settings.
Search Windows for your printer model name and number, and then click your printer from the list of results to open HP Printer Assistant.
NOTE:
If the printer does not display in the search results, go to HP Software and Driver Downloads to download and install the full feature software and drivers.
Click the Utilities tab.
Click Printer Setup & Software, and then click Reconfigure Wireless Settings.
Follow the instructions to change the wireless settings.
When prompted, connect the USB cable and type the WEP or WPA key (network password).
If you do not know your network password, go to Find the wireless network password or PIN to connect an HP printer.
When the printer connects to the network, the wireless light on the control panel turns on solid.
