We just purchased an Ipad Pro 11 inch and want to dock it when at home and use accessories...network, printer, scanner.
The salesperson at the Apple store said it cannot be docked. There are videos online that show it being docked.
The printer and scanner are the most important.
Any thoughts???
iPad Pro (6th generation)
The printer and scanner cannot be connected to the iPad in that manner. iPads only support AirPrint or the printer app for printing, and only support the printer app for scanning. You'll need a wireless printer for this to work.
You can however use the dock to connect an external monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, network cables, and external storage.

There are many third-party USB Hubs that have a USB-C connection for iPad plus a USB-C PD (Power Delivery) pass-through power connector to which you can connect your USB-C Power Adapter - along with the hub itself incorporating a combination of additional USB-C ports, USB 2.0/3.1 Type-A ports, Ethernet LAN, HDMI, VGA, SD and microSD card-readers.
Perhaps consider Kingston, Anker, Hyperdrive and Satechi - although there are many others from which to choose. A Google Search for USB-C Hubs compatible with iPad will find a number of articles and recommendations.
Speaking of personal experience, the Kingston Nucleum has proven itself to be particularly flexible for connection of external power and USB storage devices - featuring twin USB3.1 Type-A, downstream USB-C and SD/microSD card slots, HDMI, plus a power pass-through USB-C port that can accept +45W from a suitable USB power source.
You’re very welcome.
Using a USB-C or Thunderbolt hub is as close as you’ll get to a single dock-connection for your iPad.
Thank you, we really want to use this Ipad for both Office and mobile.
