I don't own this so I can't comment on it's functionality but you do not need this. As someone else mentioned already, Canon says the Pixma MP470 does not support other adapters (I even contacted their support department) but it is not true. After reading the aforementioned review, I tried my own Bluetooth adapter (paid $8.99) and it worked fine--although, depending on your adapter, you may need a USB extender like I did. from Amazon.com Instead of buying this, just buy an AluraTek Bluetooth adapter. I picked up three for $9.99 on Ebay and it has plug and play functionality. from Amazon.com This product works fine for what is intended, that is, printing wirelessly. The range is somewhat limited because it is bluetooth, not wifi, and you cannot scan to your computer, but neither can you do so with many wireless print servers. What canon doesn't tell you, of course, is that this adapter doesn't offer any additional functionality over any bluetooth dongle off-the-shelf. At least that's the case for my mp610 AIO. from Amazon.com The product was way too slow in transferring my iPhotos to the Canon printer. Sent it back immediately. from Amazon.com I just purchased the Canon BU-20 Bluetooth adapter to go with my Canon Pixma520 and Apple iMac ( which runs Leopard X 10.5) and am totally disappointed. I was trying to have as few wired connections as possible, which tempted me to buy this adapter in the first place. from Amazon.com First off, despite what you may have read, this adapter most definitely DOES work both ways! You can easily print and controll ALL functions of your printer AND you do get ink cart status readings! from Amazon.com Any Class I bluetooth adapter would work in its place! The only thing to keep in mind is that the adapter that you should get one that has a USB extension cord in order to let it fit into the small port on the printer. from Amazon.com I have noticed a lot of confusion online and no clear explanation of this simple question: Will ANY bluetooth dongle work in place of the Canon BU-20 Bluetooth Adapter in a Canon printer? The answer is YES. from Amazon.com This product works fine, however it's very expensive and I discovered other USB bluetooth adapters work fine also, though some others don't work (Kensington did work with my Pixma mp610 printer). So you can save some dough. from Amazon.com Tried this, didn't work out so well. I couldn't find the correct drivers for the bluetooth adapter, and they didn't make it very easy to link into my mac. I've also read that data only goes one way (to the printer, not back), so it sort of makes it not as useful. from Amazon.com
