Hope someone can help, I need to know if I can (and how) I can connect to my printer from my MS908 to print off reports. I do not have a network as this is not in a workshop, basically I have a mobile set up in my service van with an Acer laptop connected to a printer via USB cable. The laptop is connected to the internet when needed via a personal hotspot connection from my I-Phone . ( Yeah I know I have a mixture of operating systems LOL).There appears to be no way of installing drivers for a bluetooth USB wireless print adaptor onto the MS908 and there doesn't appear to be a way to change the printer settings to have the printer connected directly to the MS908 via a USB printer cable.Any ideas to get round this ?Thanks in advance -

Essentially you can not do what you want. The maxysis is looking the recieving program on a pc to print out on. What would be best for you to do is to install a wireless router in your van and create you own little network. If you want to take it a step further get yourself a 4g LTE router by cradelpoint so you will have internet access with out using your phone. Your download speeds will be much faster using a router like that then using your phone as a hot spot. -

Thanks Mitch , I just managed to work out how to do it. My laptop came with bluetooth but it wasn't enabled so I switched it on and paired the MS908 to my laptop then I switched on the wireless so both are connected to the internet, with the printer connected to my lap top I hit the print button from a vehicle in the history tab on the MaxiSys and it printed the document straight off with no problems !! -
