The print job you send to the PC on which the printer depends reduces the perform- ance (resources) of this PC. If you use the USB port on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl for your printer, you have all the advantages of a network printer without the disadvantages referred to above: The network, and consequently also the printer, is always ready (the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and the printer itself must be switched on, of course).
Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is connected and can be reached in the network. A printer need not be connected to the USB port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl at this point. The following illustrations show installation on Windows XP. Installation on Win- dows 2000 is essentially the same.
