There is a SO question Bluetooth and WIFI Printing for Android where Roy Samuel suggests
Printing via Bluetooth on Android is not possible as of now , as Android does not support Bluetooth 'Profiles', such as BPP, HCRP BIP etc. which are the common profiles used with Bluetooth Printing. Currently, Android supports OPP (Object Push Profile) which is used to send files over Bluetooth.
