Which printer allows multiple devices to connect?

This is probably an obvious answer but before I order more devices I need to know for sure. I run a restaurant and will have many waitresses using androids and iPhones to take orders at the tables. I want all the tickets and receipts to go to a single printer and if possible register at a single drawer.

I currently run a single drawer and iPad and do all transactions there. The printer and the drawer are hooked up to the iPad via USB. The printer is supposedly bluetooth capable but cannot be seen for pairing.

Can I accomplish this with my current printer? Maybe I need to unhook the USB for the pairing to work? If so, can multiple phones of mixed types connect and print to it over bluetooth? Or do I need an Ethernet printer that multiple phones can connect to over wireless?

I don't believe that you will be able to accomplish what you want with a Bluetooth or USB printer. We do exactly what you are saying, but with an ethernet printer that Square POS then sees over the wifi. we have many devices all printing to the ethernet printer which is connected to one drawer.
