Ethernet Hub for USB Printer

We are trying to maximize the use of our printers to print order tickets instead of receipts because most customers want receipts emailed now. Our problem is that the printers we have do not have ethernet connections, only USB - since they were only connecting to the Square iPad holder.

 

Is there a way to connect a USB printer to a separate hub that is connected via ethernet to Square via the network? Looked at the terminal hub and wonder if this could be done with this device - without a terminal?

@JPWilkinson unfortunately a USB printer can only be connected to our hardware via USB and will never become an ethernet printer, but if you want to print order tickets instead of receipts, you can still do that via the USB printer. The tickets will just need to be walked back to the kitchen if that's the use you are hoping to have for this printer now.

We actually went with a KDS instead and are now going almost printerless and have lessened the amount of printing needed by 98% already.
