Bluetooth scanners and printers are quite hard to come by, i'd be preferable to go with wireless one if that is a possibility for you - you'll get faster data transfer times over a wider distance.
If not you can buy a standard printer/scanner and plug in a bluetooth usb stick in some cases... worth looking at the adaptor route.

Be very careful going the printer + usb adapter route.
Many of these only support "photo" printing via bluetooth, specifically the Epson models (that's where i got burned).
I wouldn't waste my time again looking for BT printing and just go the wifi printing route.

We have three printers over here.
Canon iP4500, Canon iP4300 and a HP 4180 (not really sure)
Connected them all three to our AirPort Extreme and only the iP4300 worked.
The HP printed everything in black and white and the other Canon didn't do anything when trying to print wirelessly ... It did when connected straight away though.
Any suggestions then?
