Manage USB Print and Scan Jobs
The NETGEAR USB Control Center utility runs in the background on each computer in your
network. This utility manages the printing queue and handling for the USB printer connected
to your WiFi DSL modem router.
After you activate the utility on each computer in the network, the status of the USB printer is
Available for all of the computers.
•
When the status is Available, you can use the USB printer from any computer in the
network. The utility on each computer automatically manages the printing queue and
handling. The status of the USB printer appears as Available on all of the computers
when no print jobs are in process.
•
When the status is Manually connected by
xxx
, only the
xxx
computer can use the printer.
Other network devices must wait until the
xxx
computer has released the connection, or
until the connection times out (the default time-out value is 30 seconds).
You can click the Disconnect button at any time to release the connection.
You can set the value for the default time-out time from the Configuration screen. For
more information, see
Configure the NETGEAR USB Control Center
on page 79.
Some firewall software, such as Comodo, blocks the NETGEAR USB Control Center utility
from accessing the USB printer. If you do not see the USB printer in the utility, you can
disable the firewall temporarily to allow the utility to work.
If your USB printer supports scanning, you can also use the USB printer for scanning. For
more information, see
Use the Scan Feature of a Multifunction USB Printer
on page 82.

The NETGEAR USB Control Center shows the availability status of the USB devices.
The NETGEAR USB Control Center utility must be running for the computer to be able to
