I have a WRT350N that I got from a second hand store it was a brick but got it going and loaded dd-wrt.v24_mega_generic.bin on it.
The router works good but I am having problems with the Print Server wont start.
Here is what I have done to this point.
First
Under Services > USB
Core UBS Support Enabled
USB 1.1 Support (UHCI) Enabled
USB 1.1 Support (OHCI) Enabled
USB 2.0 Support Enabled
USB Printer Support Enabled
Second
Under Services > Services
SSHd Enabled
Third
Under Administration
JFFS2 Support Enabled
Then I rebooted the router
Then I ssh'ed in to the router and ran these commands
root@The Wild One:~# mount | grep -i jffs
/dev/mtdblock/4 on /jffs type jffs2 (rw)
ipkg update
no reply form ssh
root@The Wild One:~# ipkg -d root install p910nd

This would indicate that the router has found the printer ?
So me thinks you've done a few things differently :)
Give 'r another go ??
EDIT ... also just noticed that you are running a MEGA build. Depending on whether your are using a BS or Eko build and what SVN version you are running, you may find it easier to get JFFS to operate properly with a MINI-USB build. The smaller the build, the more room left for JFFS to get setup and run properly. Found that out the hard way myself

OS Windows Vista
Printer Lexmark x1240 all in one
Router WRT350N
Thank you for the help
I erased the whole flash and reloaded the cfe then tftp dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt350n.
Then upgraded to dd-wrt.v24_usb_generic that freed up jffs to a little over 4mb.
Then fallowed the instruction at http://sites.google.com/site/wl520gu/
Then checked to see if the print server was working by running this command netstat -an
and it was.
Next I setup the icp/ip port in Windows Vista didn't work until I set the printer online.
Even the scanner seems to work.
Have not had the time to test everything or even set the printer up on the other systems in the house.

Wiping the whole flash & reloading the CFE seems a little extreme in this case .. but as long as you're still having fun and have found success, that's all that matters
