Polaroid Printing

Back in December, I was looking into buying a small, portable photo printer - for the life of me, I can not/could not get our normal HP photo printer to print a picture correctly. And with Miss B now in school, we are finding the need to print pictures on the fly for various projects. So, while looking at what was available at Target, we stumbled across the Polaroid PoGo. Seemed simple enough - take a picture and plug into the printer.



And apparently, there is a way to print pictures stored on your computer to the PoGo. But... you need a bluetooth adapter to make that work. I've drug my feet on getting the adapter - primarily because there were just other more important things to take care of. Well, I finally ordered one and it arrived today. Look at how tiny this thing is.



I like to consider myself fairly technically savvy. However, this one has me stumped and I am throwing in the towel for the night. First there was some special software that needed to be installed for the adapter to work. But it kept crashing. Turns out I didn't really need the software to pair up my computer with the printer. That was probably the only successful thing of the night - I was able to get my computer and the PoGo to "talk" to each other and was able to send a picture over. However, for whatever reason, the darn picture won't come out of the printer.

So, if anyone has one of these PoGo printers and has any helpful hints, it would be greatly appreciated. At this point, I'm tabling it until later this weekend.
