FRITZ!Box 3390 112
Sharing a USB Printer
• 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.
