Is this using wifi printing or USB and ReadyPRINT?
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
DSL Modems & Routers
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
It may be some time before the images land. To ensure that you aren't posting anything naughty, a Netgear moderator has to approve the pictures.

Now that your image has finally appeared, it suggests that it is connected to a USB port on the PC. That has nothing to do with your router.
We can get to an endless Q&A session if you like, but so far we know next to nothing about your system and what happens when you do things. There are usually prompts and error messages when you do anything.
