To print and release the printer to any computer on the network:

The NETGEAR USB Control Center automatically connects your computer to the USB printer and prints
the document. If another computer is already connected to the printer, your print job goes into a queue
to wait to be printed.
2. If your document does not print, use the NETGEAR USB Control Center to check the status.
