Hi, guys! I am trying to setup my usb printer according to this page http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Printer_Sharing , but no luck so far. My printer is detected when I typing dmesg|grep usb:

Code:
<6>[ 1553.010000] usblp 1-1.4:1.0: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x2676


but there is no usb folder in /dev directory, and the /jffs directory is empty.

I am very new in linux and dd-wrt, could you guys be so kind to describe step-by-step what I should do to setup my printer?

Hardware:
    Laser printer Canon LBP2900
    Connected through generic USB HUB
    Router TP-Link TL-WR842ND v2
    Firmware DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/22/14) std - build 25697
    Kernel Linux 3.10.63 #5359 Mon Dec 22 04:34:46 CET 2014 mips

I have never used or tried usb printer on dd-wrt router and I hope that the setup is as simply as mentioned on this post: http://forums.buffalotech.com/index.php?topic=19129.0

Hope it works!

Thank you for the link, but unfortunately my printer still not working. It says "Incorrect port", I did all the settings described in that post though.

Is there anything else I could do?

Confirm if the print server exist and is running on your router by ssh/telnet to your router and type in the command ps and see if the process {p910nd} p9100d is there.

If the print server is running, double check your printer setup on your PC and check printer properties, click configure port, check Protocol (should be Raw) and Raw Settings (should be 9100).

If the print server does not exist, then you have to install the print server on your router, details can be found on: https://sites.google.com/site/wl520gu/ a link provided on the wiki you mentioned earlier. But use the following link instead to get the p910nd:

wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07-rc3/ar71xx/generic/packages/p910nd_0.95-3_ar71xx.ipk

Hope it works for you!

Thanks for advise, I had checked and seems that {p910nd} p9100d is running. Also netstat -na command shows that port 9100 is listening. Protocol is RAW and printer driver is updated.
Unfortunately I still cant print, every time I have the same error (screenshot attached).
Usb cable is OK, and I can print directly from PC. Removing USB HUB and connecting printer directly to the router did not help.

Any suggestions please?

I tried today with my HP Laserjet 1320 on my F5D8235-4 v2 and I have no problem setting it up. Hence, I have no clue why it doesn't work with your router and printer. Do you have other printer other than Canon? If you do, try it on your router and see if it works. I search the Internet and found a few posts that people using Canon printer have similar problem as you but unfortunately they didn't mention any solution on their problem. If other printer works on your router than you can blame the Canon printer. If other printer also fails, than you may have to try other build of dd-wrt, either older or newer one.
