I had trouble with my first attempts to do this with my iPhone 7 one possible culprit is that my home wireless network was set to “auto join” and thus interfering with the printer connection. Following menu instructions on the 1.4-inch OLED screen, I used the WPS connect method pressing the WPS button on my wireless router put the TR150 on my network.Īlternatively, you can use Wi-Fi Direct and setup the TR150 as the wireless network connection on your mobile device. To ease the wireless setup, the TR150 has a dedicated wireless connect button on its control panel. After the printer performs a print head alignment, and you print a test page, you're ready to go. I used my iPhone to capture the included QR code in order to launch the online setup instructions. You download the software online, or insert the installation disc in your PC. You lift the lid to reveal the cartridge bay, and first install the print head, which you insert in a similar way to the two ink cartridges, which follow. You only need to remove a couple pieces of packaging tape. Canon Pixma TR150 review: Setup and software By comparison, the HP OfficeJet 250 has the highest estimated color page ink cost we've seen, at 23 cents, and only lowers that cost per page to 17.3 cents when using high-yield cartridges (which are not available for the TR150). Buying an ink cartridge bundle should lower that cost to roughly 12.7 cents. The same is true for color pages: At 14.8 cents, the TR150 offers the lowest color page cost of the portable printers we've tested. By contrast, the HP OfficeJet 250 offers an estimated cost of 9 cents per text page. At 7.5 cents per text page, it is well below the 8.9 cents category average. The Pixma TR150 offers low ink costs for a portable printer. The second cartridge holds a pigment-based black ink. The printer takes two ink cartridges: A dye-based ink cartridge with three colors (cyan, magenta, yellow), plus black. Canon Pixma TR150 review: Ink cost and yield By comparison, the same print made by the HP OfficeJet 250 looked a little unnatural due to hyped-up yellow shades. In particular, the colors in our landscape photo looked very natural. Details looked very sharp and color saturation was very pleasing. Glossy photo prints, however, were top-notch. Pixels were more visible in the TR150's graphics prints. The graphics also lacked the sharper details, stronger contrast and richer color saturation of better-looking prints, such as from the HP OfficeJet 250. Color graphics printed on plain paper looked a little washed-out, and banding was visible. Edges of letterforms looked a little rough, and not razor sharp. Text printed a little on the light side, rather than in a rich black. The Canon iOS app did not offer a high-resolution setting. Printing from an iPhone 7, the TR150 printed at comparable speed to printing from a PC, making a 4-by-6-inch glossy at default settings in 1 minute and 5 seconds. The HP OfficeJet 250, however, was twice as fast at default and high-resolution settings, making 4-by-6-inch glossy prints in 37.6 and 49.5 seconds, respectively. Printing at high resolution, the TR150 made the same glossy print in 1 minute and 45 seconds, which was significantly faster than the category average of 2 minutes and 6 seconds. From a Windows PC, the TR150 made a 4-by-6-inch glossy photo print at default settings in 1 minute and 4.8 seconds, versus the average of 1 minute and 11 seconds. Photo printing speed also was faster than the category average.
