You're OK. You probably have it plugged into the keyboard which doesn't put out a lot of current (I'm not sure if it puts out any current at all). You have two options.

1. Temporarily unplug your printer and use that port. (Do NOT use a USB hub.)

2. Use the wall charger and charge the iPad completely. Then use the more convenient keyboard connector and ignore the message. The iPad battery is phenomenal and you can do whatever you need with no worries.

Finally, this is a worthwhile document:
