I have a printer modelled QL-820NWB and i know that it can connect to it through the usual printer interface either using wifi or bluetooth. Is it possible to do so using Mendix? Thank you!

It’s not possible in Mendix itself, but you can use Java for this (https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/javame/bluetooth-wireless-technology-part1.html) in a Java action (https://docs.mendix.com/refguide8/java-programming).

Where are you planning on using the printer? 

I’ve not used this particular printer, but I did link up a Mendix application to a Star mobile printer that had a web printer interface. This used JavaScript to send content to the printer from the application via bluetooth so could be used in the field. The JavaScript was added to the application using a HTMLSnippet.
