Can't connect to Fritzbox

Hi,

I'm using a computer that is connected to another computer via WLAN.
The WLAN router is a Fritzbox and I can access the Internet throught it.
However, I can't connect to the printer which is connected to the
Fritzbox. My computer recognizes the Fritzbox and even the printer but
when I hit "Print" in an any application, I get the message "can't
connect to Fritzbox".

What might be the solution?
Thanks in advance,
Torsten

Try temporarily disabling any firewall to see if it's blocking printing.
If it is, you'll have to open the necessary ports.
