ReadySHARE Printer
You can connect a USB printer to the router’s USB port, and share it among Windows and
Mac computers on the network.
To set up ReadySHARE Printer:
1.
Connect the USB printer to the router’s USB port with a USB printer cable.
2.
Install the USB printer driver software
on each computer
that shares the printer. If you do not
have the printer driver, contact the printer manufacturer to find and download the most
recent printer driver software.
3.
On each computer that will share the printer, download the NETGEAR USB Control Center
utility. The NETGEAR USB utility has a Mac version and a Windows version, which you can
access in two different ways:
•
From the ReadySHARE Printer area of the website you reach using this URL:
www.netgear.com/readyshare
•
From the ReadySHARE tab of the NETGEAR genie app. (See
NETGEAR genie App
and Mobile genie App
on page
19).
Note:
You
have to
install this utility before you can use the ReadySHARE
Printer feature. For the ReadySHARE Printer feature to work, this
utility has to be running in the background.
