What receipt printers are compatible with Android devices?

feedbucket — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:56:38 GMT

I am using Samsung tablet and need to find receipt printers that will work with this system. Most printers only give info about Ipad compatibility. Also bluetooth would be a bonus.

Generally speaking, the Star printers will just show TSP100 on the front of the actual printer but those are the model numbers; it is kind of confusing. Feel free to share a link or two to the printers you're viewing, I'd be happy to confirm.

This is the same problem I have been having. Every search for TSP113, for example, returns a TSP100. Does that mean the TSP100 is compatible with the Android and square?

Here is a link to what comes up on Amazon when searching for TSP113:

Is my device compatible with Square?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 with my Square reader. I want to know what receipt printers are compatible with my Samsung.

Hi @knerrm — It looks like another seller had the same question, and received an answer. Check out the reply from Tom and let us know if that helps!

Will the Star TSP100 TSP143U , USB, Receipt Printer work with the Square? Thanks!

@BlueKnight - It works for me. I have it connected to my tablet with a USB hub.

What tablet do you have? Do you mean the Square stand USB hub? or another hub?

Re: receipt printers compatible with Android

tinpanb — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 00:43:37 GMT

I have an LG Gpad 5.0 But I have resolved my issue. The receipt printer works; I have everything hardwired.

Do you have a USB hub that the printer is plugged into?

Re: receipt printers compatible with Android

tinpanb — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 02:42:54 GMT

Yes.

I have a very small retail bakery and I didn't want to spend $100 per month on wifi to run credit cards, nor the amount of money it would cost to get the whole official Square suite of items. So I went to Verizon and got the LG tablet for $1. I pay about $20 per month for a data plan just for the tablet, and that suffices for the credit cards. I have to plug the reciept printer and the cash drawer into a USB hub which then plugs into the tablet, and they work fine.

The only issue I've had has been with the chip card reader. That has not worked well at all. I've been okay for now because I can still run cards through the mag stripe. I don't know why it's not working, but it unpairs itself very quickly from the tablet. I'll have it online for ten or fifteen minutes, and then it will become undetected again. It's annoying.

@tinpanb - That does sound annoying. Have you had a chance to run through these troubleshooting steps yet?

I have an android and a cash drawer with printer, it won't recognize this if any other device other than card reader is hooked up... iex my scanner or other label maker

Hey @Croakersbrew, sorry to hear it. I'd recommend giving these troubleshooting tips a run-through: USB Printer and Android Devices. If that doesn't clear things up, let our Support Team know, and they'll be able to take a deeper dive.

@cgmobilecafe Bluetooth printers aren’t supported with Android devices as of right now. Check out the Best Answer in this thread for your printer options with Android devices and Square.

This info is from 2016. It is now September 2017. Are there any wifi or Bluetooth printer for receipts and food orders?
