USB Printer
8.5 USB Printer
To connect a USB printer to the USB port of the FRITZ!Box,
you can either enable the USB remote connection, or use
it as a network printer.
USB Printer at the USB Remote Connection
If you enable the USB remote connection for USB printers,
then you can use the printer on another computer just as if
it were connected directly to your computer.
 If you want to use the printer with the USB remote
connection enabled, then the program for the USB re-
mote connection (see page 64) and the suitable
printer drivers must be installed on any computer
that is supposed to use the printer.
 When the USB remote connection is enabled, all-in-
one printers (printers with supplementary fax or
scanner functions) can also be used for faxing and
scanning.
 If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, you
can use this feature when the USB remote connection
is enabled.
 Host-based printers that work according to the GDI
system, for instance, and require bidirectional com-
munication for status messages, can only be used via
the USB remote connection. These printers usually
can be used only with an operating system for which
the printer manufacturer has provided driver soft-
ware. Such printers connected to the FRITZ!Box are
not supported as network printers.
