I am not sure I understand your question correctly, but I am guessing, also based on your title you are trying to connect your Ultimaker 2 to your computer for printing?
You can only connect your Ultimaker 2 to your computer if you want or need to update the firmware, via Cura. You can store your gcode's on the SD card and print everything you need directly from the SD-card. We disabled printing from your computer because printing from your SD card is much faster and more reliable. On your Ultimaker 2 you can change a lot of settings live during printing, like speed, temperature, flowrate, fanspeed etc.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
