I’m trying to connect my printer to my square stand and I have plugged the printer into the power hub but I have no power to the printer, does the printer it’s self need to be connected to a wall outlet?

Hey @HappyCakes!

If the printer does not have a battery built in (like some small bluetooth printers) then yes, it does have to be plugged into a wall outlet with a power cord. The USB cable from the Printer to the Square Stand Hub is usually only for data and not for power.

yes, it needs to be connected to power besides the USB connection.
