Bluetooth Woes

I recently bought a new bluetooth device and it only uses Bluetooth LE. The Bluetooth adapter on my desktop is too old to connect.

So $16 later, I have an upgraded adapter that supports BT 5.0. My new device connects and works!

But now my older bluetooth devices don't connect... Confused | :confused:

clarification: They won't pair with the new adapter.

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

So, all of your devices happen to connect to either BT, or BT LE exclusively...?

Can they not co-exist? Maybe installing the LT adapter disabled the older one...check Device Manager and such.

Beyond that, I'm just guessing. I've never purchased a BT device, and those that came with one, have had it disabled.

This morning I tried to print from my Windows desktop and Windows listed the printers I can target. Included in the list was an unknown HP printer! Checking the Control Panel and sure enough the list of printers included a HP device. Now here is the thing:

Years ago, in the days of XP, I bought a HP scanner. When Windows 7 came out, the scanner driver was incompatible with 7 and HP refused to provide a driver for Win 7. So since that time HP products were banned from our house. There is no HP printer in our house or connected to our network!

Why did Windows install a totally unknown HP printer on my machine, probably with the last update? Mad | :mad:

I managed to remove the printer from my setup, but this really p**** me off.

Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Are you connected via rdp to somewhere, or were you at some recent before? Modern windows will attempt to autocreate printer it finds on the remote lan.

Barring That, get a mac. Big Grin | :-D

The first thought of mine was also printer redirection by RDP

No. No connections via rdp.

There was an article in yesterday's CP daily news about the last Windows update installing some HP software even when there was no HP hardware present. MS said they were looking into it. Maybe your new phantom printer was added with that update, perhaps with some additional HP software.

"HP" and "malware" in the same sentence.

Now you're just being redundant.

this.

Occurrences like this make me shudder. We simply have no idea what MS pushes out under the context of "security" updates. But it's going to be fine, because the EULA says so. Then comes pulls from github, updates for linux, and I suspect no one is watching the store.

I think only a few of us really understand how fragile today's world is. Looking at what MS is doing over the last 5 years, I see entropy increasing there. There is simply no reason why a 3rd party vendor shows up coming from Microsoft.

But you do you.

Yes. Complexity.

I can even hypothesize about the scenario. The developer was testing with the driver in the code space. It worked. Checked it in. Reviewers did their less than complete job (in my experience that is quite common) and so it went into the build.

Versus in the good ol' days? When exactly was that? What date?

Easy - Sun OS, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, OpenVMS. They did not push arbitrary updates under the guise of "security" - meaning oh crap, we wrote more bugs. And we want you to have the latest advertisements.

So, somehow Microsoft managed to push out software for users that don't even use the hardware. I wonder what else is being pushed out under the guise of page after page of user agreements.

Before uninstalling, did you try printing to it? (better if you did not security-wise.

It could also be some sort of honey pot looking for credentials…
