Answer 1

The answer for your question is YES. Android Print Framework support Bluetooth Connection. Check the document here: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html

Android now includes a complete framework that allows users to print any document using a printer connected over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other services. The system handles the transaction between an app that wants to print a document and the services that deliver print jobs to a printer. The android.print framework provides all the APIs necessary to specify a print document and deliver it to the system for printing. Which APIs you actually need for a given print job depends on your content.

But you need your printer's manufacturer to support Bluetooth too to print via Bluetooth. Ask the manufacturer about it. In the case of HP, it seems that it does not support Bluetooth at this time.

StarPrint may do what you are looking for. It finds the connected printers, manages drivers, and so forth
