Canon TS302 Wireless, Single Function Inkjet Printer, Black, Works with Alexa

So I had to order a printer in a pinch because my old printer died and I had just purchased ink for my old printer so I wanted to get a printer that accepted the old ink so I could use my brand new ink that I purchased a week earlier. I thought $60 was a great price for a throwaway printer. I end up buying $50 printers every 5 years or so and just toss out the old one when it starts screwing up and that's what happened here. Installing it was SUPER EASY. No wires, nothing! You only need to attach the power cable and everything else happens wirelessly. QUICK INSTALLATION TIP! Don't use the CD that comes with it. There is a website on the installation instructions. Go to that website, download the software for the TS302 printer (this printer), and just follow the instructions! It takes about 10 minutes to do the install and align the printer heads and you're all set. I didn't have to fuss with my settings on the actual printer itself. I didn't have to adjust any wireless settings, it did all of that automatically. After that you're all set! Any other computer in the house attaches easily just buy going to printer settings in windows and clicking add printer. It should find it on the network and you just add it. I also tested my iPhone 15 Pro and same thing. I brought up a return label and the iPhone found the printer automatically and printed no issues. Prints fast, looks good, works flawlessly. The ink is also pretty cheap! You can buy a set of black and color ink for $30 for the XL cartridges. It also includes some starter inks but they most likely won't last long so you should buy some ink rather quickly. Anyway, that's it! Highly recommended.

I've been using a 15 year old Dell-branded (Dell 720) Lexmark printer that I bought new in the box about six years ago. It worked well in spite of the Vista driver for it being erased with every Windows 10 update, that is until it finally stopped "communicating" with the desktop computer and other laptops. It died. I got this Canon printer to just slip into the old Lexmark's place, connected via USB. I'm not up on the modern world of printers so I wasn't sure what the printer end of the USB cable was that's been vaguely mentioned for this printer (that isn't provided). It's the same old printer cable type as always, as seen in one of my provided pics. You won't see the back of this thing anywhere else on the internet. The printer comes with ink, some 4x6 photo paper and power cable. USB cable is NOT provided. I set it up with the disc and chose the USB option. I have no interest in it being wireless. The installation process was SLOW as if it was trying to install to a Windows 98 computer instead of Windows 10. But once I got passed that it finally printed the alignment pages. Again, SLOW. It had me worried that this was an abnormally slow printer, but once the printer head alignment was complete and it printed a test page, it zipped right out, no problems. The setup process was tedious but not difficult. There's a grayscale printing option in the preferences before you print to save on color ink. That option is a must for me. Most things I print don't need to be in color. I mainly mention that because another review said that option wasn't available. It's there and also three options for print quality if you don't necessarily need it in high quality. I only print auto insurance documents twice a year and the occasional shipping label for holiday gifts or the odd ebay sale (shipping label+packing slip). I just like the convenience of a little document printer being around. Nothing fancy was needed. The ink cartridges seem easily attainable at Walmart or next door at Office Depot at "fairly" reasonable prices. Reasonable as far as ink cartridge prices go...still too expensive. If you need a printer for occasional use, this one should do the job. Read the instructions and be patient during the setup and everything should be fine. I have no doubt that connecting wirelessly should be just as easy. My network was already detected by the printer software and was asking if I'd like to connect. I've noticed that the cheaper Amazon stock of this printer runs out quickly but is quickly restocked. Don't pay $100 for this thing. lol What I've always called a "ghetto scan" does not make a scanner. lol

The instructions that come with the printer are garbage, the only useful thing was the website to go to to set-up on your device. There is a website for computer users and QR codes for iPhone and Android users which take you to your designated app store to download the Canon PRINT application. Computer users will have to download the required software before connecting to the printer, following the link provided in the instruction manual takes you to download and installation instructions. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART The manual included with the printer wasn't helpful at all if you weren't able to connect per their instructions. If a light wasn't flashing for the network, instructions said to just go back to and earlier step and start over. THE WEBSITE however gave detailed instructions for what to do if your network lights weren't blinking or if there were other issues. I tried to summarize the entire process the best I could below. Long story short - just go to the website and you will be so much happier. The quality of hte printing though is great, I'm very very happy with how the printer works after I was finally able to get it set up. TO SUMMARIZE SETTING UP - unbox printer - remove all tape/plastic - plug in - power on - go to desktop website to download needed software for computer and/or download Canon Print app for phone - Once programs/apps installed successfully - look to see if the network light is blinking. FOR ME THIS WAS BLINKING AT FIRST BUT MY PHONE WASN'T ABLE TO FIND THE PRINTER - AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIND THE PRINTER WITH MY PHONE THE NETWORK LIGHT STOPPED BLINKING. The manual instructed me to go back to the instructions telling me to remove the tape after unpacking - useless. - IF NETWORK LIGHT NOT WORKING OR IF IT STOPS WORKING ----- PRESS AND HOLD THE DIRECT BUTTON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN RELEASE - looks like a smart phone/tablet - NETWORK LIGHT SHOULD BEGIN BLINKING. - FOR ME I had issues setting up initially on just my phone so I went to the website and did the installation via my laptop. I was prompted to enter my printer's information to locate the right software to download right from the site. - Setting up software on MacBook Pro took moments - The computer couldn't locate the printer on the network so I was given alternative steps to what to try - this is where the suggestion of the direct button came. - PRESS/HOLD DIRECT BUTTON UNTIL NETWORK LIGHTS BLINKS - computer was able to locate the printer and connect to it - AFTER FULLY INSTALLED ON COMPUTER/LAPTOP THEN PUT IT ON YOUR PHONE VIA THE CANON PRINT APP

funciona a la perfección no necesitas mas que conexión a WIFI, lo único que e notado es que usa bastante tinta pero todavía no imprimo mas de 10 hojas así que no se que tanto valla usar

I don’t print much but once in awhile you have to. I set this up, easy to connect to wifi, can print from my phone which is exactly what I wanted. It’s very light weight as well, my last printer/fax was a heavy clunky dinosaur so this new one is great! I want to try and print out pictures and will update when I do. Good little printer

Tuve que devolverla, pues el cabezal de tinta negra era defectuosa. Volveré a comprar, sin duda, no obstante este mal menor. Canon es confiable, salvo en esta única ocasión en décadas de adquisiciones con calidad exitosa.

Se le intento de diferentes maneras y no se pudo configurar por completo.
