Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Portability: The printer is highly valued for its small footprint and lightweight design, allowing it to fit easily into gear bags, briefcases, and even under car seats for travel.
  • High Print Quality: Users consistently report that the device produces clear, sharp, and professional-looking documents and photos, often exceeding expectations for a portable inkjet unit.
  • Versatile Mobile Printing: The printer supports direct wireless printing from smartphones and tablets via the Canon app and AirPrint, enabling users to print on the go without a traditional network.

Cons

  • Unreliable Connectivity: A significant number of reviewers experienced frequent connection drops, difficult WiFi setup, and software that feels outdated or requires constant reconfiguration.
  • Expensive Battery Requirement: While marketed as portable, the battery pack necessary for cordless operation is sold separately, which many customers found to be a misleading and costly hidden expense.
  • High Ink Consumption: Several users noted that the printer 'eats' ink quickly and that the cartridges are quite small, leading to frequent replacements and higher long-term operating costs.

    I was so scared to buy this because the Canon TR150 I bought had stopped working. However, this one still works. I have problems connecting it to my laptop when I am not on my home wifi, but I am hoping some re-programming can fix that

  3. It does not scan or make copies. Expensive enough to have this capability.

    Printer doesn’t make copies or scan. It only print electronically. That sucks because that was the main reason I purchased it. Now I need to decide if I am going to return it along with the battery and case bought separately.

  4. missing itemized Mac drivers; no USB printing unless agree to b tracked and data sent to canon

    do not buy. missing stand-alone Mac drivers (not sure about windows or linux); canon software mandatory for using USB connection but it requires user permissions and forces opt-in for collecting user data and forced notifications or other updates. size is ok but man, i just want to print over USB not give canon my personal printing use data. If you want to print without sending canon user information then you have to print over wifi. Using portable printer it must share a wireless network – which doesnt work in the field or while traveling unless you bring your own router with this or manage to add whatever firewalled network of where you are visiting. See screenshot.

  6. A 5-STAR GEM

    I loved the price so I decided to try this printer and I can report that I am more than satisfied with this printer. It does an equal job to the old and more larger one that I set out on the curb. This printer is a little gem of a printer. Small footprint, quiet operation, sleek design, and more than adequate quality printouts result in a 5 star rating from me.

  7. Excellent printer – VERY easy setup

    Verified purchase
    Big Time Book Junkie October 31, 2025

    This is an absolutely fantastic printer. Very easy to set up. I experienced no problems whatsoever and was up and printing less than 15 minutes after unboxing the printer.

    Years ago I did QA for an international hotel franchisor and our department provided us the Canon portable printers which were great for use on the road. So when it came time to replace my Epson at home that was a constant hassle, I searched for portable printers.

    This Canon is a much newer version of the ones I used all those years ago on the road and it is just as easy to use and provides great print quality. Setup essentially consisted of inserting the ink cartridges, scanning a QR code and following the steps. I highly recommend this great printer. I’ve had no issues with connectivity, setup, or printing.

    While the printer was more than I wanted to spend, the value for money is definitely there and I consider it well worth what I paid.

    Absolutely love this printer! Our company got it to print out estimates for job sites and it has been a game changer. It prints nicely and is super compact! I will post an updated review once the ink levels run out to let you know how far the ink cartridge lasts.
