    I'm planning on buying a printer to use wirelessly with my DV2000T. Should I buy one with bluetooth or Wifi? And if WiFi, should I pay the extra 30 bucks to get one with the 802.11g card instead of the 802.11b that comes standard with the printer? is the 802.11g going to be faster when printing? The printer I'm referring to is the HP460.
    Thanks for any help.

    p.s. Hopefully this thread won't be moved to a different section. I've already tried there and I didn't get many replies. Thanks

    Unless you print extraordinarily large files, I can't imagine you'd notice a difference between the two.

    I would buy wifi the reason is that bluetooth can only reach around six feet from what I read. Wifi can reach distances twice as far.

    Oh, yeah, to clarify, I meant between the g and b wifi versions.

    I agree that's the better bet than bluetooth.
