Printing problems.. help !!

I have looked through the forms and could not find the answer. I know someone will point it out with the thread and I will feel even more stupid but here is my issue..

I have an axim x51v and need to figure out how to print off it on my job location to my printer ( a deskjet 460c that has a blue tooth card)

Can someone PLEASE lead me in the right direction? I am from the age of Atari 2600 so I am not good with all this computer tech!

Do I need to "Beam" or just work off the bluetooth?
I can not get the bluetooth card when in the printer to register on the Axim.

I really do not know where to start at all...

Any help?

I have an Epson RX595 with a bluetooth dongle (usb radio)
installed on the built in usb port and I just paired both my
Axim 51v and HTC 7501 to the printer to try it out and it worked.
I went from Start/Settings/Connections/Bluetooth with both the
printer and the 51v bluetooth running and paired them up.
Then go to File Explorer and Beam the file,the 51v will search for
bluetooth receiver,it will come up and you tap it to send desired
file.
You have to checkmark both boxes in Bluetooth settings
to make it discoverable by the other device.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Are there any cables that I could use to just connect the two?
