How do I connect a printer to my iPad Square Stand without a wifi network?
I am using a square stand in a food truck and we use 4G data to process transactions, therefore we don't have WiFi. We are trying to hook up a printer so we can print a ticket when we receive an online order (since email is not a very good way for us to be notified during a lunch rush).
Since we don't have WiFi what are my best options for hooking up a printer to my POS.

There are a couple options. If you don't use a receipt printer currently you can get a USB printer that Works with your Square stand. If you already have one you can just turn on orders to print to it.
As far as a Wifi printer all the printers require ethernet to connect. You could turn on the iPad hotspot and get an Apple airport express, This will connect wirelessly to the iPad and provides an ethernet port for the printer. While I have not used this configuration for this situation it should work.
