FRITZ!Box reports "Non-supported printer has been attached"
A USB printer cannot be used with the FRITZ!Box. The message "Non-supported printer has been attached" is displayed in the event log of the FRITZ!Box.
1 Printer does not support the operating mode
A printer must be able to process data in RAW format (unidirectional RAW over TCP) to be used as a network printer via USB cable. Printers that require encapsulated or bidirectional data transfer cannot be used as network printers via USB cable. This applies to some GDI printers ("Windows printers"), LIDIL printers ("Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language"), and DOT4 printers (IEEE 1284 standard), for example.
Workaround
- Use a network cable or Wi-Fi to connect the printer to the FRITZ!Box and configure it as a network printer.
