Will A Bluetooth Printer Work Without Wifi

Fast wifi, dependable Bluetooth

Ok so yes there’s a lot of negative reviews. However they are all old and Mostly to do with app issues. I’m here to tell you that I’ve figured out and solved these issues! (As of Sep. 2023) Bluetooth should NEVER be used to connect these lights. Only using WiFi gives you a stable connection and no real issues. Bluetooth interferes and kicks you off randomly and messes with WiFi connection. I’ve had repeated success and now can trust these lights for use. The voyager app (iOS) needs to be freshly installed and when it asks to use Bluetooth you deny it! Do not use these lights via Bluetooth! Only use via WiFi and you’ll have a solid reliable connection. Set one of your lights in “router” mode by holding side button till indicator goes BLUE. Set your other lights as “client” do same thing but set to color GREEN. Now connect your iOS device to the WiFi that the “router” tube makes and enter the default password (dsputnik) launch your app. Deny all Bluetooth attempts. Add new lights, and wait for them all to pop up. It might take a min depending on how many. Select add all and boom you’re done. This has been tested over a few iOS devices running older and newer iOS and it’s working smoothly. Yes these had many issues when they came out, but they work really well now. Pixel mapping works very easily. You must highlight and select your lights in the app to then set FX. The FX panel doesn’t show up unless the lights are selected. This is another issue people thought pixel mapping didn’t work, when in fact it does, it just won’t show up unless you select the tubes first and then find the tabs. I haven’t tried it yet, but apparently these lights also work well via desktop app for Windows and Mac. Don’t give up on these. They DO work and are stable once you follow these steps! You can also use regular home WiFi routers to connect all the lights too. This works for extending range and making a strong single. Enjoy these lights again!

Has everything I need. Both WiFi and Bluetooth and all the control I would ever need over my AMD chip.

Picks up WiFi and works as intended. Wish it had Bluetooth along with it.

Great! Plug and play with great wifi and Bluetooth connectivity.

I couldnt connect to my computer with wifi. would be nice to have the bluetooth option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to receive and try the Canon PIXMA TR7820. It takes a couple minutes to set up and troubleshoot WiFi connections, but once it’s set up, it’s easy to use. The WiFi capability is awesome, and makes it simple to print from my computer or phone. This is one of two printers I have at home. The other printer from a different brand is a black and white printer. That printer gets the job done for unimportant documents and work papers. I save my important work, flyers, handouts, color printing, or photos for this printer. You’re obviously not going to get professional photo prints from this but it does a nice job for what it is. It prints relatively quickly and the settings are easy to change on the touchscreen interface. I love that I can use it as a scanner. Lots of great functionality. The only drawback to this printer that prevents me from using it exclusively is the tiny paper storage tray. My other printer will hold an entire ream of paper, whereas the Canon can only hold about 30 pieces of paper at a time, which means I’m constantly having to refill it. Small con but if that matters to you, it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, I’m quite pleased with this printer and will continue to use it and recommend it.

This printer does EVERYTHING as advertised, with the exception of the NFC feature. In fact, I added a $13 wifi dongle and updated the firmware today, and now, it does even more. Originally, the printbiz android app would only work via an ad-hoc (direct wifi) connection to the printer; but with the update, I was able to wirelessly connect the printer to my router (infrasture wifi connect). Dont know if windows wifi printing will work in infrastructure mode, but ad-hoc printing via windows is a feature in the driver installation.

I need to know the best Bluetooth barcode scanner for this printer

I am only using the Wifi, and will not be using the bluetooth.  It was easy to install, and is a huge speed improvement over the old Wifi card.
