Can the HP BT300 be used as a standard Bluetooth dongle?

[Muzer]

What it says on the tin. The BT300 is a bluetooth dongle designed to be plugged into HP printers, but as it's the only USB one I have and I would like to be able to use it if possible, I was wondering if there were any drivers for it, Windows or Linux, to get it to work as a standard bluetooth dongle.

EDIT: And how do I tell if it's actually working, as I can't tell.

hi
i got one to work in ubuntu 8.04
you need to also download a bluetooth file sharing utility.
seach bluetooth in package manager.
then the dongle works great
