Fujifilm Instax Square Link: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Fujifilm Instax Square Link right for you?

The Square Link prints phone photos onto Instax Square film, giving a larger square image than the Mini printers and a format that suits social-media photos without cropping. It uses its own app with collage and AR options. Square film costs more per shot than Mini, so it is a better fit for people who print fewer, more considered photos.

Best for: Users who want larger square Instax prints from their phone

Setting up the Fujifilm Instax Square Link

Install the Instax Square Link app, load Square film and switch the printer on so the darkslide ejects, then pair over Bluetooth within the app. Crop to square in the app and pick a print mode before sending. Allow each print to develop face down away from light for the strongest colours.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink cartridges, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Fujifilm's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
