Thanks. I'll try this.
Sorry I let this get away. Major surgery to my wife to deal with.
Will get back asap.
Thanks for understanding.
I'm back...
Downloaded ReadySharePrinter_setup_v1.36.exe and installed it.
Now I get an app window with little more than question marks (see Ntgear Shared Printer Screenshot.jpg Photo link)
Did I do something wrong?
The Photo
Netgear Shared Printer Screenshot.jpg is not the screenshot I made. I'll try again.

Probaby not.
Do you have something connected to the USB port on your router?
I still have no idea what Netgear device you are trying to set up. Probably R7800, but that just a guess based on "X4S AC2600", which tells us about the wifi technology rather than the model number.
Here is what I see:
USB Control Center
Try clicking the bit where "Tools" should be. Here it has "Language" options. The top one is "English".
Download ReadySharePrinter_setup_v1.36.zip
Install ReadySharePrinter_setup_v1.36.exe (and stipulate language = English) on computer hard wired by USB cable to NETGEAR R7800 router USB1. .
Screen shot (see attached) showing: Installation obvious (under Recently added [Win10])
On far tight NETGEAR USB Control Center window with [Connect], [Disconnect], [Network Scanner] buttons all greyed out.
Still not able to print:
Samsung ML-2850 Series (“USB002 Offline: 10 documents waiting”)
Unplug USB from NETGEAR USB1 and plug into USB2 and try again.
Samsung ML-2850 Series (“USB002 Offline: 11 documents waiting”)
Q: Why is window all greyed out?
Q: Why can’t I get the printer to come online?
