More and more Curator customers are switching to direct USB printing, and once you experience how simple it is to connect your iPad directly to your printer with a single cable, itโs easy to understand why.
No computer. No print server. No complicated network setup. Just connect your iPad directly to your supported printer and start printing.
With so many customers reaching out to Support for cable and hub recommendations, we wanted to put everything in one place.
There really isnโt one โbestโ cable. The standard USB printer cable included with your printer should work. However, these are the specific cables and hub weโve personally tested and can confidently recommend:
Here are the accessories weโve tested:
๐ 20-foot USB printer cable: OPTION 1 https://dub.sh/7Ok6Qff
๐ 10-foot USB printer cable: OPTION 2

โก USB hub: USB HUB

When choosing a hub, make sure it supports enough power delivery to keep your iPad charged while printing. If you use a DSLR camera, youโll also want enough portsโand enough power, to connect your camera at the same time.
Weโve even successfully tested USB printer cables at longer distances, giving you plenty of flexibility when setting up your booth.
You can also find our tested accessory recommendations in Section 2 of the help article. https://dub.sh/OHOUF5B
If you havenโt tried direct USB printing yet, this is your sign. Itโs quickly becoming one of the simplest and most reliable ways to print with Curator. Once you make the switch, you may wonder why you didnโt do it sooner. ๐
