No there is not, there already are a few threads on this topic, it all comes down to that these features are not needed by Ultimaker since USB printing is not supported and very rarely used (and Ultimakers are auto-detected, so they need no com port configuration)
This makes it a non-priority of the Cura team at Ultimaker, and combined with the fact that Wanhao (the manufacturer of the Monoprice i3) and some of the other manufacturers (for example Printrbot) that use Cura as a slicer does not seem interested in supporting the Cura development at all...
If someone develops a nice USB printing interface for Cura 2.x, i am sure that the Cura team would considerate putting it in the main release, but as long as that does not happen, there will be no USB printing support in Cura 2.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
