Enabling BlueTooth on non-BlueTooth printer

[jmm]

Hello,
I am soon to be without a Wifi home network, but I'd like to keep my non-BT printer (Brother DCP-585CW) wireless. Is it possible to connect a BT receiver/converter to the printer's USB port and print wireless or is this science fiction? Perhaps naively, it may seem that this would (only) require a BT-to-USB converter.
If it is possible, can you please direct me to (a) seller(s) of such a device?
Thank you for your input!

A quick google only turns one up - Belkin F8T031 Bluetooth Wireless USB Printer Adapter, I can only see it for sale on Amazon UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-F8T...inter+Adapter&qid=1559891291&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Thanks Z!
I posted 2 questions on Amazon.UK: would it work with a Brother DCP-585CW (it should...), and is shipping to France available.
Let's see...

Wow! That's interesting. I didn't think that would work seen as how there's an OS and driver middle man involved with BT devices in large part.

Its not clear your asking about blue tooth but talk about wifi is the printer using wifi or bluetooth? the specs sho it only has wifi so all you need is a cheap wifi router and connect pc and printer to it no need for internet. You can pick up ols router for £5 as the printer uses old protocol

the printer is wifi and not bluetooth - however I am about to loose my wifi network, so I'm trying to "add" bluetooth to the printer so as to print wireless...

Why are you loosing wifi why cant you just get a cheap router?
