Which printer will work with my android tablet using wifi or bluetooth?

I am on my second printer here, Starmicronics TSP143iiiW, which was recommended to me by the folks at Starmicronics. They included a link to the square website, saying that it would work via wifi with my android tablet. I'm not finding any way to get it to connect. Please help!!

The first thing I'd check is to make sure the printer is actually on your wifi network. I haven't used this particular model, but with the Star printers I have you can check the connection by powering off the printer, pressing and holding the feed button, then powering the printer back on. Let the button go about 5-10 seconds after powering it on. You'll get a printout with all the parameters for that printer then an ip address/network id. As long as it's showing that it is connected to the wifi network, you should be able to see it through the PoS app.

 

If the printer is on the network and still not seen in the app, try logging out of the app, force closing the app, restarting the tablet, and logging back into the app. Sometimes the apps don't see new hardware right away.

 

Hope this helps!
