I agree, however as I stated - the device works fine. It prints from every
other bluetooth object I own, except Vista because Microsoft Vista requires a
passkey for each and every connectable device. It won't allow me to say "This
device does not need a passkey to print to it" except when adding it to the
Bluetooth Device panel. Each time the computer prints to the device, it says
"A Bluetooth Device is trying to access this computer... Click here to
allow." Then requests a passkey. Which there is none. Entering nothing in
results in a terminating error inside Vista.
So like I asked originally... Is there a way to set BT device up to be
connected to your Vista system and bypass the requirement for a passkey when
a passkey is not required to access the device?
