A printer can be used only if its drivers can be selected
in the Printer Setup Uitlity or if a compatible driver is
available there.
The printer connection must be configured, and the suitable
printer drivers installed, on every computer from which you
want to use the network printer. Print jobs are forwarded to
the IP address of the printer server in the local network via
the printer port.
Configuring the Printer Port in Windows
If the “FRITZ!Box” entry is already listed in the “Programs”
group of the start menu of the computer, this means that the
printer port is already configured on this computer.
Otherwise, work through the following steps to create the en-
try in the start menu and thus configure the printer port:
1.
Make sure that the FRITZ!Box Fon is connected to the
computer and accessible.
The FRITZ!Box Fon is accessible whenever you can open
the user interface (see the section “Opening the User
Interface” on page 23).
2.
Insert the FRITZ!Box Fon CD in your CD-ROM drive.
The Installation Help for starting operation of the
FRITZ!Box Fon is started.
3.
Click the “View CD Contents” button.
4.
Click the “Start Menu Entry” button.
The printer port designated “AVM: (FRITZ!Box USB Print-
er Port)” will be configured.
Now you can install the printer drivers of the printer connect-
ed to FRITZ!Box Fon for this printer port.
