Although LPR is the coolest thing i had the chance to try in the last
months really,
[and i will continue to use it (for first cause it's CUPS native)]
i think that a bunch of Newton users would choose to use Blunt printing
cause it does not need a TCP/IP configuration (neither in Newton OS,
nor in Mac OS).

I think you would be better off without that(ie Print bridge)?
It should be possible to configure both Bluetooth on the Mac and your
Newtons to use TCP/IP on the Bluetooth interface...

Then you can use then LPR utility to print to any CUPS configure print
spool on OSX, natively (ie without going through OBEX). This will give
you much more compatibility with printing from Newton applications.

Excellent to hear your bluetooth reports! Keep up the great work.
