Bluetooth printing in iOS

I am new to iOS development. I have a task to develop a iOS app which connects with bluetooth printer using bluetooth and complete a printing task.


I have few question they are as follows


1) Does iOS supports bluetooth printing?

2) If my printer is airprint enabled but not connected to the WiFi and If i paired this printer using bluetooth in my iOS device then will my airprint app recognize it and able to print through it? I mean if i have a Airprint enabled printer then wifi is an essential interface for connectivity or we can use bluetooth as well?

3) Can i develop a app which can connect and print on a printer which is not airprint enabled?


I have search on the Internet, nobody talks about bluetooth printing. Everybody is saying wifi is essential for airprint. Also i have found that we can not develop apps for those printer which are not airprint enabled. Please guide me.

I am also having an issue on the Bluetooth printer as when I am trying to get it connected through the Bluetooth but it is not getting connected. I am having Epson printer error code e-01 while doing this.
