Add Your First Printer to Ultraprint

Now that your device is connected, let's add your first printer to Ultraprint.

TL;DR: Open the Ultraprint Hub, click Add Printer, select from detected devices, name it, and assign document types. The Hub auto-discovers USB and network printers.

Compatible Printers

Ultraprint works with any printer that your computer recognizes — via USB, network, or Bluetooth. This includes:

Thermal receipt printers (Epson, Zebra, Brother)
Laser and inkjet printers
Label printers
Kitchen ticket printers

Step 1: Open the Ultraprint Hub

Launch the Ultraprint Hub on your computer and navigate to the Printers section.

Step 2: Add a Printer

Click "Add Printer" and select from the list of detected printers. The Hub automatically discovers printers on your network.

Step 3: Name and Configure

Give your printer a name (e.g., "Kitchen Printer", "Receipt Printer") and assign it to the document types it should handle. The right job goes to the right printer automatically.

Step 4: Test Print

Send a test print from the Hub to verify everything is working correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What printer brands work with Ultraprint?

Ultraprint works with any printer that supports ESC/POS commands. Popular brands include Epson, Zebra, Brother, Bixolon, and Star Micronics.

Can I use a USB printer?

Yes. USB printers are automatically detected when connected to the Hub computer. Just ensure the OS-level printer driver is installed first.

How do I add a network printer?

Network printers on the same subnet are auto-discovered. For printers on a different subnet, enter the IP address manually in the Hub.

What is printer routing?

Printer routing lets you assign specific document types to specific printers. For example: receipts to the front counter printer, kitchen tickets to the back-of-house printer.

Why does my printer show 'Offline' in the Hub?

The printer may be powered off, disconnected, or the OS print queue may have a stuck job. Restart the printer and clear the OS print queue.
