16.6 Sharing a USB Printer

You can connect a USB printer to the USB port of the

FRITZ!Box to make it available to all participants in your home

network. You can either release the printer for sharing as a

network printer or use the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection

software to connect it with a computer. Which option is pref-

erable depends on how you intend to use the printer.

Using a USB Printer as a Network Printer

Configure the USB printer as a network printer on the

FRITZ!Box if

• the participants in the home network are to be able to

use the printer jointly and simultaneously.

• the printer is to be used by computers that use an oper-

ating system other than Windows (e.g. Mac OS X or

Linux).

For information about how to configure a USB printer as a net-

work printer, see the section Setting Up a USB Printer as a

Network Printer on page 110.

Using a USB Printer with FRITZ!Box USB Remote Connection

Configure the USB printer on the FRITZ!Box with the FRITZ!Box

USB remote connection if

• the USB printer is an all-in-one device (fax/printer/scan-

ner) and the entire range of functions is to be used.

• the USB printer is equipped with convenience features

like ink level display and you would like to use these.

• the USB printer uses bidirectional data exchange. In oth-

er words: Not only does the computer send data to the

printer, the printer also sends status messages to the

computer. This communication in both directions is typi-

cal of the “Windows printers” or “GDI printers” that work

only with special Windows device drivers.

For information about how to configure a USB printer with the

USB remote connection, continue reading from the section

Configuring a USB Printer with FRITZ!Box USB Remote Con-

nection on page 112.
