is neat but when it comes to printers, it can be S L O W .
I know of a few for whom the idea of wireless printing was wonderful. In practice, they used it for a while and then went back to the USB cable because of the time it took to send anything to the printer.
This was only this year, and the printer was new, so unless Bluetooth has undergone some speed increases, it may still be slow for you. Especially given your girlfriends field of study.
Airport Express would increase the area coverage of your existing wireless network and would also enable you to stream iTunes, if required.
Hope some of this helps

Hi, my girlfriend is a graphic arts student at college ands is looking to invest in a new powerbook and a new printer in the next few months.
I have read that there are plenty of printers avaliable that have bluetooth technology and that the Apple computers have bluetooth as well. Can she printer wirelessly from her laptop to a bluetooth enabled printer without having to hookup the printer?
I have also read about the airport express and its capabilities. However, that seems more for any printer to simply plug into plus we already have a wireless network setup. The airport express is quite expensive as well.
Thanks for any help.
