Pooter > printer via bluetooth. Painfully slow?

Was planning on getting a couple of USB>bluetooth adapters to use with my new bluetooth-enabled printer (Epson R300).
Not being a techy guy, I'd assumed that given that there are USB2>Bluetooth adapter available Bluetooth would be at least as fast as USB1.

Just spoken to a guy in a local pooter shop who stated that sending print files typical of SoHo design setups is going to be painfully slow with bluetooth.
He said that I'd be much better off sticking with USB1 cables.

Is this true?
Would printing via bluetooth (just across a room) be painfully slow?

Anyone with experience of bluetooth and/or specifically printing from a pooter to a desktop printer (inkjet, fwiw™) via bluetooth?
