Default Bluetooth printing

I have a European 3G Xoom running EOS ICS 2. We also have an old HP450 Mobile printer that has a slot for a Compact Flash I Bluetooth card. My question is would we be able to set this printer up to print directly from the Xoom?

The details of the Bluetooth card read:

Serial Port Profile (SPP): Emulates a serial port to enable wireless printing from compatible Bluetooth serial sending device(s).
Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP): Provides the same printing experience (print quality and print speed) as when printing with a cable.
Object Push Profile (OPP): Enables printing from devices that use the OBEX (Object Exchange) protocol.
Basic Printing Profile (BPP): Extends the capabilities of the OBEX protocol and lets you print a variety of content from Bluetooth-enabled devices.


Does Android support any of those Bluetooth printing protocols?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info but it looks to me as though I would need some programming knowledge to be able to try these out?
