I bought an Epson Picture Mate Charm pm225 under the impression I could print from my ipad using Bluetooth to my portable printer (an Epson Picture Mate Charm pm 225). The iPad wont find the bluetooth connection. Is it possible to print via bluetooth?
Can anyone recommend a portable printer that connects via wireless or bluetooth to the newest iPad.
Please help!

No, you can not print from the iPad via Bluetooth.
AirPrint compatible printers are listed at <iOS: AirPrint 101>. The last time I checked, none of those listed were portable.
One option is to use a DC-to-AC inverter in your car, with one of the available AirPrint printers plugged into it. You may be able to connect the iPad's WiFi directly to a printer set up to host an Ad Hoc network. Otherwise you could also power a WiFi router from the inverter.
There may be non-AirPrint portable printers you can use with a printing App such as Print n Share or PrintCentral on the iPad. These Apps can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option. However they have their own text, E-Mail, browser and photo programs. If you can use these programs, a printing App may meet your needs.
