What cable do I need to use from my TPS 100 Printer to get Square to recognize it?

I use a wireless verizon jet pack for my internet at the flea market to use square POS. I signed up with square and have a square stand, Ipad, TPS 100 printer and cash register. When trying to get the printer to become available or enabled I cannot in the square POS unless i hook up my ethernet here at my office however I sell at the flea market and do not have a network to plug an Ethernet cord into the printer. Can I connect a USB to the Square accessories hub and then the other end to that to the printer to make it work? I have tried with no luck. I was thinking maybe there was a cord with USB on one end and ethernet so i could use the ethernet port on the porinter and the USB port on the Square POS. It is really baffling me. Any help is appreciated.

There are usb to ethernet adapters you can pick up on Amazon, but I haven't heard of anyone successfully making that happen with Square. And if you do manage to make it work, if it stops working it'll be tough to find any company that will support that configuration.

 

One option you could do if you're needing an order ticket printer (versus a receipt printer) you may want to look into one of the Kitchen Display solutions. I use Fresh KDS for orders and as long as the KDS tablet and the Square tablet is on the same wifi (or hotspot) they will talk to each other with no issue.

 

Hope this helps!
