computers in the network from which you want to control the USB printer, the utility on
each of the computers automatically handles the printing queue and handling. The status
of the printer appears as Available on all of the computers.
The utility does not always need to hold the connection of a USB printer. For some USB
printers after a print job is created, the NETGEAR USB Control Center connects to this USB
printer automatically and prints. After the print job is done, the printer status might return to a
Paused state.

for print jobs.
