Hi everyone. I finally got my canon ip110 printer working on my phones hotspot. My question is will I have any issues when I’m in the us. It’s working with p/m when I print something. Will it still work when it switches to t-mobile or at&t and I need to print something ? Thanks

cheers

@mellondon Yes it will, as long as you data connection is up and running it should work the same.

This is highly dependent on properly programmed software and printer firmware, but you should be fine. Printers that have Wi-Fi features only need that the device being printed from and the printer being connected to the same Wi-Fi network. It doesn't care what the source of that internet connection is.

@mellondon

Make sure the printer can get an ip address via DHCP from the hotspot. I would imagine served addresses could be different going to a different isp via the hotspot. But then maybe with the roaming where you don't have to change anything won't matter in that regard.

Maybe I have a crappy wifi printer but I had to set it to a fixed ip.
