In Feb 2010 the BU-20 is obsolete, so get the new BU-30. I bought an ip100 mobile printer (excellent printer), and Bu-30 is the most current Bluetooth part for it, and it's the same price $49 or less.
As this product is being offered for remote operation of a multifunctional machine, a more specific description of it's function should be given. Bluetooth only is good to operate the printer and unable to run the other functions of the machine (scanner).
I bought this item to use my lap top to send print data to my Canon iP6700D printer wireless. In the next room, it takes 6 or 7 minutes to print one page. While sitting next to the printer, it loses half the data from the document I want to print. Bluetooth is not that big a deal.
The Canon BU-20 works fine but I noticed when I installed it on my Canon MP960 printer it slowed down some when it prints. My printer was much faster when I was using a USB cord.
It took 5 minutes to set this up on my Mac. Not only can I print from my MacBook Pro but my husband can print from his HP laptop as well without having to switch the connection between the two of us. We rarely use the scanner on our MP610 but when we do, having to get off our butts to wire the connection is a small inconvenience because 99% of the time it suits our needs.
