NETGEAR USB Control Center macOS High Sierra
Hi everybody, After updating to macOS High Sierra, USB Control Center stopped working. It complains about “installation could not be completed” and suggest a reinstallation, but neither a reinstal...
Maybe the Netgear USB Control Center is not needed in High Sierra!!
Since posting here a couple of days ago to say that I, too, was unable to use the USB Control Center in High Sierra, I deleted it (using the uninstall program included with it) and rebooted. Then, just for the hey of it, I checked to see if I could connect my printer without it. Son of a gun, my printer was now listed as a Bonjour option for installation! I installed it, and it is working fine!
- Great !! Gonna try this right away
Nice finding, definitely it is possible to print using Bonjour but... you stil need USB control center to use, i.e, the scanning function of a MFP.
I wonder when somebody from Netgear will give us a solution, or at least an explanation...
Did not work as well for me. I still have a crippled color laser printer using this method, i.e., no means to access printer controls, only prints in B&W, etc. Now I am stuck plugging my printer into my Macbook USB every time I want to print.
YES !! You're right ! Same thing for me. However, my scanner is not working since High Sierra.
Yes, One always expects glitches on major OS updates. But these are typically rapidly resolved. For every other peripheral device I own, they are ahead of the game and anticipating the release. There is always new software for my devices for the Mac OS update. Not true with Netgear. I do not anticipate this being addressed any time soon if at all. Makes no sense that one of the big 3 router companies does not have the ability to do this. Now I have my printer plugged into my USB port of my MacBook Pro. I will dump Netgear equipment and change to another brand router. It is not worth the hassle for what are essentially cheap pieces of hardware.
Same problem here. Hope that MacOS 10.13.1 will change something, maybe it’s caused by an issue in the OS. Otherwise, if everyone who reads this thread contacts support directly, maybe they will see it‘s easier to fix this than answering hundreds of support requests.
