Manage USB Print and Scan Jobs

The NETGEAR USB Control Center utility runs in the background on each computer in your
network. This utility manages the printing queue for the USB printer connected to your router.
After you activate the utility on each computer in the network, the status of the USB printer is
Available on all of the computers.
• When the status is Available, you can use the USB printer from any computer in the
network. The utility on each computer automatically manages the printing queue. The
status of the USB printer appears as Available on all of the computers when no print jobs
are in process.
• When the status is Manually Connected by xxx, only the xxx computer can use the
printer. Other network devices must wait until the xxx computer has released the
connection, or until the connection times out (the default time-out value is 30 seconds).
You can click the Disconnect button at any time to release the connection.
You can set the value for the default time-out time from the Configuration screen. For more
information, see Configure the NETGEAR USB Control Center
Some firewall software, such as Comodo, blocks the NETGEAR USB Control Center utility
from accessing the USB printer. If you do not see the USB printer in the utility, you can
disable the firewall temporarily to allow the utility to work.
If your USB printer supports scanning, you can also use the USB printer for scanning. For
more information, see

The NETGEAR USB Control Center shows the availability status of the USB devices. The
NETGEAR USB Control Center utility must be running for the computer to be able to print to
