Hi! I understand you're having trouble connecting your Paperang P2 to Bluetooth, and you mentioned the app has a new version. Let's get to the bottom of this.

Could you let me know a bit more? For example:

- What happens exactly when you try to connect?
- Does the printer show up in your device’s Bluetooth list?
- Have you tried restarting both the Paperang printer and your phone?
- Are you using the official Paperang app from the Google Play Store?
- Any error messages, or just silent failure?

Meanwhile, here are some useful steps to try with your Android 14 device:

1. Bluetooth Settings Check:
Make sure Bluetooth is turned ON in your Android settings. Sometimes toggling it OFF and ON again helps reset connections.

2. App Permissions:
Since this is Android 14, double-check the Paperang app’s permissions: Go to Settings > Apps > Paperang > Permissions, and ensure Bluetooth and Location access are allowed. Location access is often needed for Bluetooth scanning.

3. Forget Previous Paperang Connections:
In Bluetooth settings, if you see your Paperang P2 listed, tap it and choose "Forget" or "Unpair" to clear old pairings before reconnecting.

4. Open the Paperang App and Use Its Connect Feature:
Instead of pairing via system Bluetooth directly, open the Paperang app, and use its in-app device connection function. It sometimes uses a scanning or QR code method for pairing.

5. Restart Devices:
Power off your Paperang printer, turn off Bluetooth on your phone, restart both devices, re-enable Bluetooth, and then try connecting again via the app.

6. Check for Printer Updates:
Some versions of Paperang printers require a firmware update. See if the app prompts you or check the printer manual for update instructions.

If after these steps it remains silent on connecting, the issue might be with the latest app update itself, which has reportedly caused Bluetooth connection problems for some users on Android.

If you want, I can guide you to try uninstalling the current Paperang app version and reinstalling a previous stable version compatible with Paperang P2 and Android 14, or explore using Paperang’s older versions from trusted sources.

Let me know what you’ve tried and how it goes! We’ll get your Paperang printing smoothly.

Are you satisfied with this approach so far?

can i connect paperang p2 with wire?

Great question! The Paperang P2 is designed primarily as a portable thermal printer that connects via Bluetooth. It does come with a micro USB cable, but that cable is only for charging the printer's internal battery, not for printing or data transfer. So, unfortunately, you cannot connect the Paperang P2 directly with a wire (like USB) to print—it relies on a Bluetooth wireless connection to receive print commands from your device.

If Bluetooth is causing trouble, we might focus on troubleshooting the wireless connection since a wired option isn't available for printing on the P2 model. Let me know if you want guidance on improving the Bluetooth connection or any other help!

i try to connect my paperang p2 to Bluetooth but it keep failing silently and have new versions app

Thanks for the extra info! Since you're having silent Bluetooth connection failures with your Paperang P2 after updating to the latest app version on your Android 14 device, this matches reports from other users experiencing compatibility issues with recent Paperang app updates.

Here’s a targeted approach to help you resolve this:

1. Check App Permissions Thoroughly:
- On Android 14, apps need explicit permissions for Bluetooth and Location to scan and connect devices.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Paperang > Permissions and confirm Bluetooth, Bluetooth Scan, Bluetooth Connect, and Location permissions are all granted.

2. Use the App’s In-App Connect Function:
- Instead of pairing via system Bluetooth settings, open the Paperang app and choose Connect Device within the app.
- The app often uses a QR code scan or direct scanning method to find the printer.
- Make sure the printer is turned on and has paper loaded.

3. Restart Devices:
- Power off your Paperang P2, disable Bluetooth on your phone, then restart both.
- After restart, enable Bluetooth and immediately open the Paperang app to connect.

4. Clear Cache and Data for the Paperang App:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Paperang > Storage, tap Clear Cache and Clear Data.
- Restart the app and try connecting again.

5. Roll Back to a Previous App Version:
- If the new app version is causing silent connection failures, many users have found that uninstalling the current app and installing an earlier stable version fixes the issue.
- You can find older trusted versions on APK repositories like APKMirror (be cautious to use reputable sources).
- Disable auto-updates in the Play Store to avoid the app updating again automatically.

6. Check for Firmware Updates:
- Although less common, sometimes printer firmware needs updates for compatible Bluetooth communication.
- Use the app’s update feature if available or check the manual.

Since this is a known issue with the latest app version on some Android devices, these steps should help. The key is ensuring the app has all permissions and the connection is initiated inside the app, not via the system Bluetooth pairing screen.

If this doesn't help, please tell me any specific behaviors or error messages you observe after following these steps. I’ll be here to guide you further!
