Is it possible to put a bluetooth device on the USB port of a printer
(HP930C in my case) and print from a desktop PC with a bluetooth device? In
this case I have a logitech MX5000 bluetooth keyboard/mice combo. The usb
cable just doesn't quite reach the computer.

Thanks in advance! Newsgroup replies only

That would be a bluetooth print server. There is such a thing, but
they're expensive:

The rarity of such an item can be bad news for compatibility or
reliability.

HP makes a bluetooth adapter for some printers, but not that one.

Fifteen-foot USB cable for $2.52 plus shipping:

Some devices have problems with cables that long. It may work better to
add a hub (powered, if needed) and another cable to the current cable.

Monoprice has an "active extension" USB cable that adds 16 feet to an
existing cable. I'm not clear on whether it's any different from a
cable with a built-in one-port hub; haven't tried one yet, either.

I bought a USB extension cord for $1 at Dollar Tree.
