USB Printers
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7570 vDSL
When the USB remote connection is enabled, all-in-
one printers (printers with supplementary fax or scan-
ner functions) can also be used for faxing and scan-
ning.
If the USB printer is operated as a network printer, on-
ly the printing function is supported.
If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, you
can use this feature when the USB remote connection
is enabled.
If the printer is used as a network printer, it may not be
possible to utilize the status monitor.
For computers with Linux:
The printer must be supported by CUPS (Common
UNIX Printing System) software and be detected cor-
rectly at the USB port of the FRITZ!Box.
For Apple computers:
The only printers that can be used are the ones whose
drivers can be selected in the "Printer" utility or for
which a compatible driver is available there.
If you want to use the printer as a network printer, the print-
er port must be configured, and the suitable 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.
If you want to use the printer with the USB remote connec-
tion enabled, then any computer that is to use the printer
must have the program for the USB remote connection (see
page 44) and the suitable printer drivers installed.
