UGREEN USB B to USB C 2m printer cable

This USB Type-C to USB B printer cable from UGREEN connects modern laptops and tablets to legacy printers, scanners and other peripherals, making it easier to print and scan directly from devices with USB‑C or Thunderbolt 3 ports. It offers a straightforward wired alternative to Wi‑Fi for reliable transfers and is useful when installing drivers for tablets or phones before printing.

Key Points

The cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps, which is suitable for printing, scanning and transferring typical document files. Triple shielding is used to reduce interference and deliver a more stable connection than a wireless link, helping avoid interrupted print jobs. The braided nylon jacket resists tangling and daily wear while keeping the lead flexible enough for regular use. The nickel-plated USB B connector is resistant to corrosion and maintains consistent conductivity. Note that if you connect some tablets or phones you may need to install the appropriate driver according to the device manufacturer.

Usage Recommendations

Use this cable to connect inkjet or laser printers from brands such as HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Lexmark and Xerox to modern machines like MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, XPS and compatible tablets. It is also appropriate for scanners, faxes and some DACs or external drives that use a USB B port. Plug the cable into the computer’s USB‑C or Thunderbolt 3 port and the device’s USB‑B port, then install any required drivers when prompted by the operating system. For mobile devices, check that the phone or tablet supports USB‑OTG and that the manufacturer supplies a compatible printing app or driver.

Advantages

The direct wired link avoids the potential variability of wireless printing, which can be helpful in busy offices or where Wi‑Fi setup is unreliable. The 2 metre length gives more freedom to position equipment without stretching ports, and the reinforced braid improves lifespan under frequent movement. Compatible with a wide range of laptops and hybrid devices, this cable keeps older peripherals usable with current computers. Consider that while the cable supports USB‑C on the host side, it does not provide power delivery or fast charging features, so it will not charge laptops or supply significant power to devices beyond standard USB 2.0 levels.
