Why each option

In Windows 7, Bluetooth printers are added through Devices and Printers using the 'Add a Network, Wireless, or Bluetooth printer' option.

AStart >Printers and Devices >Add a Printer >Add a local printer

'Add a local printer' is intended for printers connected directly via USB or parallel port and will not discover Bluetooth devices.

BStart >Control Panel >Device Manager > Add a Network, Wireless, or Bluetooth printer

Device Manager is used to view and manage hardware device drivers, not to add printers; it does not contain an 'Add a Network, Wireless, or Bluetooth printer' option.

CStart >Control Panel >Device Manager > Add a Bluetooth printer

Device Manager does not provide any direct printer-addition wizard; this path does not exist in Windows 7.

DStart >Printers and Devices >Add a Printer >Add a Network, Wireless, or Bluetooth printerCorrect

The correct Windows 7 path is Start - Devices and Printers - Add a Printer - Add a Network, Wireless, or Bluetooth printer. Windows 7 then scans for discoverable Bluetooth devices and allows the user to select and install the Bluetooth printer from the detected list.
