Netgear USB Control Center

I am trying to install a printer using a USB cable.  I installed the USB Control Center but it doesn't seem to do anything.  See attached picture.

Hello, thank yu for responding.

 

Yes, I read the manuals and that got me to where I installed the software but as I showed the screen is blank.  I assume that means he does not find a printer. 

I have it working on my other computer so there is a solution.

Yes,

Is that the answer to my first question?

 

"Does the printer work?"

Yes,  but does the printer work?

What does the USB control centre show on that other computer?

 

If the printer is not working, think about fixing that rather than worrying about the USB control centre. Here at least it is just some background "widget" that seems to do no more than set the router up to work with a USB printer.
