Anyone Reccomend a good Bluetooth Laser Printer?

Ok, so heres the deal. Fedex and UPS are terrible about creating Mac software to use for their Worldship software. So what I want is a good bluetooth enabled Laser printer so I can print labels onto certain paper Fedex supplies which really is a sticker to slap onto the box.

By the way, is any bluetooth printer mac compatible or there is more to this like I think?

Thanks for all the advice.

There aren't too many bluetooth enabled laser printers. I would just buy a good laser printer along with a Bluetooth Wireless USB Printer Adapter such as the Belkin F8T031

With a HP LaserJet. Highly recommend HP Printers.

agreed, and they print faster... Bluetooth is slow.

bluetooth 1.0 is far to slow for printing labels for a business. a wifi enabled printer or buying a wifi bridge for an existing printer would suite your needs better in a business setting. if it isn't a business setting, I would still recommend against it, because wifi spec is enough bandwidth for wireless are a reasonable speed.
