    First off, will an adapter like this one...:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833158122

    ...plug into a usb printer and allow it to be printed on by bluetooth notebooks?

    If so, is there a way to make the printer private (ex. password protected), or will everyone in range of the signal have access to the printer?

    This is for my college dorm room... my roomates and I are looking into sharing a single printer wirelessly. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    I'm having trouble finding one that has it built in.... so far i've only looked at the hp 450wbt or whatever it is. know of any other good ones? scanning/copying is a plus, but not necessary
