I've been itch'n for some time to take the Bluetooth plunge (especially since I got my 4155). Our printer really sucks (and it's less than a year old :evil: :evil: ) so I was thinking that this may be an opportunity to take the plunge.

My wife stumbled accross an HP Deskjet 995c on QVC for about $250. The list price is around $400. It seems like it has decent spec's and it comes with the USB cable (I'll tell you why this may be significant in a moment). I was just wondering if anyone has experience with this printer. Specific areas of interest are:

1. Might this cause conflict with my existing 802.11g network?
2. Could I print directly from my 4155 using the integrated BT?
3. Is it possible that I could connect my desktop using the USB cable while ALSO connecting to my laptop wirelessly with a BT dongle (what the heck is a dongle anyway????)?

Any thoughts are appreciated,

Thanx
