Maybe. Sometimes is works.
Make sure you have a data-capable USB cord (some phone cords are just for charging the battery).
In Cura - open the MarketPlace in the top right of the screen. It takes a minute to load. Click on the Installed tab and scroll down to USB Printing and make sure it's marked as installed. Then close Cura.
Plug your printer into the computer and then re-start Cura. Load a model and after a minute or two Cura should notice the printer. After you slice the "Slice" button will say Save To Disk. There should be an arrow on the right end. Click on the arrow and see if one of the options is USB Printing. If it is then click on it. I can't remember the rest but you should go to the Monitor screen and you can pre-heat and print from there.
Possibly. I can print to my E3Pro that way. I'm not fond of it because USB Printing is glitchy as it is no longer kept up as no Ultimaker printers use it.

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
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.
