USB Printer as a Network Printer
When you connect a USB printer to the FRITZ!Box and set it
up without using the "USB Remote Connection" software,
the FRITZ!Box manages the printer itself and makes it
available as a network printer to all computers connected
to the FRITZ!Box. Please note the following for the printer
setup:
•
If you want to use the printer as a network printer, the
printer connection must be configured, and the suit-
able printer drivers installed, on every computer.
Print jobs are forwarded to the IP address of the
printer server in the local network via the printer port.
•
Only printers that can be addressed with the device
class "Printer" are supported as network printers.
This is generally not the case for multi-function devic-
es, for instance combined fax-scanner-printers.
•
If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, it
may not be possible to use the status monitor if the
printer is operated as a network printer.
•
For multi-function devices (printers with additional
functions like fax or scanning), only the printing func-
tion is supported for network printers.
