ReadySHARE Print
The ReadySHARE print feature allows you to share a printer that you connect to the USB
port on your router. To use the ReadySHARE print feature on a Windows PC, you need to
use the NETGEAR USB Control Center utility.
To set up ReadySHARE Print:
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 will share 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. Download the NETGEAR USB Control Center utility available at
www.netgear.com/landing/en-us/readyshare.aspx.
The NETGEAR USB Control Center utility has a Mac version and a Windows version.
4. Install the utility on each computer that will share the printer. You have to install this utility
before you can use the ReadySHARE Print feature.
Some firewall software, such as Comodo, blocks the ReadySHARE Control Center utility
from accessing the USB printer. If you do not see the printer in the utility, you can disable the
firewall temporarily to make it work.
For scanning: If your printer supports scanning, make sure that the printer is in the Available
state, and click the Network Scanner button. This activates the Scanner window so you can
use the printer for scanning.

control the device. You can download this utility at
