Has anyone successfully used an USB Hub connected to an android tablet via OTG to run both a receipt printer and a cash drawer?

Hey @CutrightD,

Welcome to the seller community! We don't officially support a USB hub and OTG configuration. I'll dig around for some more information on this and circle back as soon as I have more details.

In the meantime, you might be interested in having a look at our point of sale kits and if any other sellers have insight on what's worked well — feel free to chime in!
