Canon PIXMA TR150 Wireless Portable Printer

I love it. It’s compact, portable, and very practical. The print quality is quite good, and it’s easy to set up and use.

TL;DR: Travel-friendly printer, great for documents, not for photos, ink runs out quicker than a gossip in a small town. Strap in for the lowdown on this travel-sized printer – it's like the pocket-sized Hercules of the printing world. For a printer that could practically fit in your travel bag, it does a stellar job with documents. Think crisp, clear text that could easily be mistaken for something churned out by its full-sized cousins. Setting it up is a breeze, provided you've got a nifty case to keep its bits and bobs in check. But, here's the kicker: the ink cartridges on this baby have about as much staying power as a snowflake in the Sahara. Planning to print a novel? You'd better stock up on those black ink cartridges faster than you can say "print" because they run out with the speed of a sprinter. Expect maybe 50 pages of top-notch quality before it taps out. Go easy on the quality settings, and you might stretch it to 80 pages. If you're dreaming of printing in Technicolor, think again. The color cartridges are about as long-lasting as a chocolate bar at a kid's party. In terms of being user-friendly, ticking the boxes for functionality and portability, this printer's a gem. The ink endurance, though? Not so much. In a nutshell, it's Canon quality compacted into a travel-sized package. But let's be real, you're shelling out $200 for the convenience of size and mobility. If you're hunting for a steadfast, stay-at-home printer, this little wanderer might not be your cup of tea.

It holds a charge amazingly long, it takes up almost no room and closes up and looks sleek on a table, and it prints very well if you change the settings in the program you're using on your computer or device. I think people forget that there are tons of settings you have can change to make it print better. But I have used it for labels, cards, and for work. I bought a case for it so it travels well and has been a lifesaver (and a space saver) for me. I have used generic replacement ink and it has worked just fine. I've used brand name also - I have not come across any problems as of yet and I have used it for over 2 years.

Straight out of the box, I see why so many reviewers have complained about connectivity issues. And let me just say, I’m neither elderly nor techno-challenged. This isn’t my first rodeo. I followed the quick start guide. I read the manual. I went to YouTube and looked at some tutorials. I 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 couldn’t get this printer connected. Come to find out, after having to update my antivirus software and correct some issues with my computer drivers, I was able to get the printer connected to my laptop wirelessly. Not without spending more money on antivirus software, though. And I’m still waiting on tech support to call me back with instructions on how to get the new printer connected to my smart phone. Same issue with my iPhone 12: followed all the instructions, but still wasn’t able to connect. So learn from my mistake; make sure you’re all up to date with your antivirus software before you start any new equipment installation. That said, I love the size, design, and functionality of this little printer. It’s replacing my ancient HP all in one that will no longer connect wirelessly to anything because the technology is outdated. This new one prints quickly, quietly, and is 𝙨𝙤 much smaller. I’m hoping that I’ll only have to go through this initial trouble to get it connected to everything, then I’ll get a return on my investment. We’ll see. The jury is still out on this one… 𝙐𝙋𝘿𝘼𝙏𝙀: Canon tech support is your best option if you have connectivity issues with this printer. The root of my problem ended up being a compatibility issue between my internet provider's WiFi network (WPA) and the printer’s ability to connect to it. We ended up creating a separate WiFi network for this printer. It wasn’t the issue itself that was the hassle because it was an easy fix; the hassle was 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙩 the issue. The first Canon rep I spoke to had no idea. I had to call 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 for the same connection problems. Finally, the second one I spoke to knew exactly how to help me. Only because he had attended a webinar on this very issue. It was interesting what this rep shared with me. He said that his superiors told him not to mention this solution to Canon customers, because it only affects a small percentage of them. So they don’t really consider this an issue worth addressing, apparently.😠 I’m sorry for the length of this review, but I feel other consumers should be aware of this. I really like the printer so I’ve decided to keep it. It works like a dream once you get it up and running.🤷🏽‍♀️

Tucked away in a corner of my room, this compact Canon Pixma TR-150 printer folds up smoothly to the size of a large book when not in use. It works wirelessly with my laptop or handhelds. I'm trying to use less paper now, but when you need a few pages, this printer delivers seamlessly and quietly, and can be put away for the night. There was minimal documentation in the package, but QR codes delivered the latest info and videos. It all went together without a hitch, until I attempted to close it up. The two hatches in front, where the cartridges are changed, and the paper exits, did not close smoothly, it seemed. This was my error -- the last door you close is the hatch where the paper emerges. It flips up, and a tiny magnet holds it in place. This was a great relief after my ordeal with the HP Deskjet 3755 Compact Printer. It fit my needs and set up nicely, but had one critical flaw: the color printer cartridge was knocked askew every time it returned to place. Something was not quite fitting. I was on the phone for over an hour with HP tech support, taking videos on my cell phone and crawling on the floor to plug and unplug power cords. The return to Amazon went smoothly: I filed a claim online, got a printed QR code, took the reboxed printer to a local Whole Foods, where they took the box, scanned the code, and a refund was in my Amazon account. Sometimes the modern world works well.

I was looking for something small enough to tuck away when I'm not using it, and this one is super compact I can seriously take it anywhere.Setting up the Wi-Fi was easy; I had it connected to my phone and laptop quickly, which is a huge plus because I hate messing with complicated tech. For a portable printer, the quality is really sharp! It handles documents perfectly, but what surprised me was how good the colors look on my photos, even the square ones I tried. The little screen on the front is a nice touch for checking ink levels without having to open an app. If you need a reliable, small printer for work, school, or just occasional use, this is a winner. Great quality in a tiny package!

I have HP printers and have had Brother also. For over 10 years at the table desktop I have used my Canon iP100 portable printer without fail. It connects to my MacBook Air either with a USB cable or Bluetooth. It has a battery for portable uses and it just works. I have a page count of about 10,000 pages printed over a ten year period. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and my trusty iP100 drivers were out dated so I decided to purchase the Canon TR150. Portable, same footprint, I got the optional battery, It uses the same ink refills as the iP100. Whats not to love? PLENTY, first the TR150 only connects via Wi-Fi and it expects the router to be connected to your computer. If you have a weak signal the printer either won't print or it prints 1 page every five minutes. There is no Bluetooth like the older printer and a direct a connection doesn't seem to work. The printer has a small 1 1/2" screen with menu after menu but there is no owners manual. There is Canon's on line setup You Tube video but they just show you haw the connect to the router. There may be a telephone number where you can reach customer service but I can't find it. Canon has gone from just simple and it works great to it only works if you carry a router around with your MacBook Pro. Why they ditched the Bluetooth that worked so well and made a machine that is really really BAD. I'm going to have to return this and find a iP110 which is an older model. The model does work on modern Macs. In the video the sound is really bad nevertheless you can see the computer is connected directly to the printer - still NO GO....

5 Stars for quality Canon Pixma TR150 Wireless Mobile Printer i use it every week from the cab of my truck as a Canadian trucker we have a lot of paperwork to deal with and this has made it easy for me to print anything anytime. I'm on my second color cartage and used about 8 black cartages mostly opt for black when printing. Uses regular paper. When I purchased also got the travel case and battery so when I need to print its ready in about 30 seconds. keep about 15 sheets in the case so by the time printer is opened and tuned on then put paper in the hopper i grab my cell phone go to settings Wi-Fi turn on printer is already searching and i used to wait for it to connect but don't now jus go strait to my email select pdf file then hit the forward tab and scroll it up to see PRINT select by then its already connected and can un choose color and press again and it will print I can be in and out of a rest stop within 6 minutes after printing out 2 documents i close it up back in the case blank paper lay it on top close it and put on my shelf and shut WIFI on phone and the printer will turn itself off in few minutes. It will let you know if its getting low on ink I just ignore it and only change when it wont print then its easy to switch out the cartage. Also keep new ones in the case. Charge lasts about 3 weeks for me and I have 120 volt inverter in truck so it has never left the truck in the 28 months of ownership. I gave tech support 5 stars but i never needed any and gave self cleaning 5 stars because once in a while it will be slow but I can hear its internals moving and that may be cleaning cycle, I was not planning on doing this review so I don't have any pictures. I wanted to order ink and went to orders to find it and was surprized by how many reviews and 4.5 stars and Amazon choice so i felt compelled to let others know how I felt about it. Zero issues and travel case is must if you want to use on the road ( I used to have to find a truck stop and they charge by the page time wasted fuel wasted enough said! ) Anleo Hard Travel Case for Canon PIXMA TR150 $29.99 on Amazon Canon LK-72 Battery Pack, Compatibile to The Canon TR150 Mobile Printer $99.99 on Amazon

Small and portable. Exactly as described.

El tamaño y diseño están insuperable. Efectivamente es portátil pero hay que considerar el peso ya que añade bastante en una back pack. La impresión es muy buena las fotografías se ven bastante definidas pero obviamente los cartuchos no duran mucho ya que al ser muy pequeños no guardan mucha tinta. Un muy buen punto a su favor es su compatibilidad con iprinter y es muy fácil imprimir. Definitivamente un producto excelente

Very useful and convenient for my requirements. Specifically the options to print on normal A4 papers with colour. Dorable, easy to install and perfect size to store and/or move it around. Very efficient.

I got this printer specifically to avoid having cords and stuff all over the place, and to not have a giant printer taking up valuable real estate on my desk. I wanted it for it's small size, a good print quality (I print my drawings), and to be able to put it on my desk *only* when I need to use it...It does exactly what I wanted. When I'm not using it, it sits on my side table by my bed charging. When I need it, I unplug it and put it on my desk. No messy cables, no massive size taking up tons of room. And the print quality is actually *really* good for it's size! At first, it looked really bad, especially when printing on photo paper; but then I learned that I actually need to specify the print quality and paper type through my computer. Once I set it to "photo paper" and high quality, it printed my color drawings perfectly and clearly. I haven't tried printing proper photos yet, but I assume they will look pretty decent, as well. The only thing I consider a con, though, is that the ink cartridges are pretty small. I don't print a lot, though, so that's okay to look past. Also, it's pretty expensive! Again, that's okay...worth it now that I'm experiencing what it can do.

Alles war super danke
