If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, you
may not be able to use this.
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 the Windows
Operating Systems
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 WLAN is connected to
the computer and accessible.
The FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is accessible whenever you
can open the user interface (see the section “Opening
the User Interface” on page 26).
2.
Insert the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN CD in your CD-ROM drive.
The Installation Help for starting operation of the
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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 WLAN for this printer port.
