[QUOTE="Rick T, post: 1632598, member: 275248"] I was unable to get the printer discovered by the laptop. Since the USB connection was really not a problem, I left it that way. A new problem has occurred and I am wondering if it might have some relationship to the printer problem. I use an Apple wireless keyboard and the Not Connected message appeared this morning. The KB and LT are in close proximity to one another and I have never seen this message before in this position. It will occur when I take the LT elsewhere in the house and always reconnects automatically when brought back to the KB. Even though I had not received a low battery alert, I changed the batteries. When turning the KB on, I noted the blink-blink-pause pattern denoting that the KB should be discoverable. In System Preferences, I checked to see if Bluetooth was on and the LT discoverable. Then went to Keyboard/Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard and it will not discover the keyboard. I then went to Change Keyboard Type and it would not recognize it there either. It appears that, as with the printer, the LT is incapable of discovering the KB. If something in the LT went awry, I would have expected any and all Bluetooth devices to stop working at the same time. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
