Abstract
Systems, methods and devices enable wireless discovery of printer devices in proximity to a wireless communication device. A wireless device may detect a mobile print service triggered on the wireless communication device, scan radio channels associated with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement broadcasts, receive BLE advertising packets from printer devices, and display a list of discovered printer devices and printer capabilities based on the received BLE advertising packets. A wireless device may further detect a user input selecting a printer device from the list, establish a BLE connection with the selected printer device, receive information over the BLE connection identifying a wireless local area network (WLAN) or a wireless direct communication link to which the selected printer device is connected, wherein the information is received with the selected printer device, and send a print job to the selected printer device over the identified WLAN or a wireless direct communication link.
