Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2017 9:12 Post subject: Netgear R7800 and USB-printer
Okay, So I didn't get any help in this router's thread, so maybe here anyone can help me!
I have R7800 with Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r32802M kongat (07/24/17) and a printer connected via USB (HP p1102). So, I've tried almost everything to make it work (all the guides I could find online) but to no avail. Basically I try to print a document, but nothing happens, it just shows in printer queue like "printing" and after a while I got printing error like Windows couldn't print this document (pretty same thing on Linux and MacOS btw). I've managed to install some additional software to the router, and magically lsusb command says that my printer is connected! At this point I have no clue what to do next... Maybe this firmware doesn't support printing at all?
Except for the opkg stuff, in dd-wrt, just enable USB printer support and you should be good to go. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

As I said in my first post, I've followed the basic guides, but it doesn't work. Though my opkg can't find these packages: kmod-usb-printer, kmod-lp. p910nd installed.

You shouldn't need kmod-usb-printer because it is already bundled with dd-wrt. Just enable usb printer support in the GUI. Click apply, should be good to go on that part.
As I alluded to, it is not a straightforward process, I spent almost a month working on it off and on, and I got it working sort of. I had a cups server set up hosting a Brother 7060D printer, but I could never get the scan function to work. I could print fine but not scan. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

I did that. It doesn't work.
I enabled printing in GUI, I connected my printer to USB, I did set it up on Windows (IP and port 9100 etc.), but it just doesn't print...
