    There must be some way for the printer to receive the gcode file.  What printer is it?  I have both an SD slot and a USB port on my Ender 3 Pro.  I use the SD card for printing.

    There is a system involving additional hardware called Octoprint on a Raspberry PI board.  Ultimakers I believe are networked.  So it likely depends on the hardware available to you.  A physical connection (like a USB cable) is not often required.
