I find Ethernet, when available tends to work out best... I've yet to see a wifi printer that works well/consistently. Though lots of higher end routers can act as a USB print server as well.
- a2tech 6y agoWiFi printers work great--assuming you assign them a static IP address and you set it up by telling Windows/OS X to use that IP address as the port address instead of any goofy auto detect nonsense pushed on you by the manufacturer.
- tracker1 6y agoI usually just put printers in the reserved list on my router to keep getting the same IP. Haven't really done wireless on a newer than 5yo device, but have had a couple issues back then just in maintaining a connection. My wired printers have had no issues though, even from wifi devices.
- Nursie 6y agoHonestly in recent years I haven't even had to do that. Got a small-office style HP printer/scanner, it's on wifi, everything just seems to be able to talk to it. Couldn't be happier...
- somehnguy 6y agoHmm, odd. I bought the cheapest AIO printer with wifi at Walmart years ago and it has worked flawlessly. Besides the ink cartridges being terrible. Connectivity though...perfect.
