Connect your printer to your device or Square hardware to print the following:

You can use default settings to quickly set up and connect your printer to print, then assign printer profiles later to customize the settings to better fit your printing needs.
Before you can connect a printer to a device using the Square Point of Sale app, the Square Retail POS app, or the Square Appointments POS app, you need to set up printer profiles. Learn to set up printer profiles.
You have two options when connecting a printer to a device using the Square Restaurants POS app:

Single item per ticket: Off

Single item per ticket: Off
Print kitchen names: On

There are five printer connection types:
Ethernet printer
Wi-Fi printer
USB printer
Bluetooth printer
AirPrint printer
To connect a printer, you need to use a compatible device. You may also need a Wi-Fi or Ethernet internet connection. To connect a printer to Square Terminal, you need Hub for Square Terminal.
Ethernet printers plug into your router or switch using an Ethernet cable. Once connected to your router via the Ethernet cable, your hardware accessories will connect to your POS device through the Wi-Fi connection. You won’t be able to use an Ethernet connection with Offline payments.
Wi-Fi printers connect wirelessly to your router. Make sure your device and hardware accessories are connected to the same network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. If they are on different networks, the connection will not be successful.
USB printers plug directly into the compatible POS device. If you are using Square Stand, Square Register, or Square Terminal, you can plug your USB accessory directly into the USB hub on the power cord. For Android devices, you’ll need to connect through a USB OTG (On-The-Go) adaptor. Check that your Android device supports USB OTG or USB Host mode. Connecting a printer into an iOS device directly via a Lightning or USB-C is not supported.
USB printers are hardwired to one POS device and only that POS can print to the USB printer.
Bluetooth printers connect to your device wirelessly using the Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth works best in close proximity (within 10ft.).
AirPrint support helps the integration with any printer that uses AirPrint protocol. You can connect to popular AirPrint enabled printers from the POS
If you connect a printer without assigning a printer profile, the printer status will show as Not configured and you can only do a print test, rename the printer, and manage the paper size printer setting.

Tap Print test to perform a test, which will print a fake receipt.
