Hello! I wanted to configure printing server on archer c7 and all the tutorials told me to use ipkg but that package is missing from this router firmware. Can you help me with installing this package and to help me to install and configure the printing server.
Your router is mips based. Note: p901nd is included in the Archer C7 dd-wrt build. That is what the USB Printer support radio button enabled (Services - USB page).
I once had a full cups install running on a dd-wrt router. Entware will require a USB stick. Cups is not small (~150MB). _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.
Some dd-wrt wiki pages are up to date, others are not. PM me if you find an old one, I am trying to update them.

Hi,
I also would like to enable USB Printer Support on my Archer C7 v2 build 38507.
It is enabled in the menu (Services > USB), when I ssh to the router "dmesg | grep usb" output shows this:
<6>[ 10.380000] usb 1-1: Product: HP Color LaserJet CP1215
<6>[ 10.390000] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard

Hoewer netstat -a does not show anything listening on 9100 port. Command lsusb shows this:
-sh: lsusb: not found
Also command ps does not show process p9100d running.
If I install Entware does this mean that I will have to sacrifice one of the USB ports? Currently both of them are occupied (hard drive and printer).
I would prefer a solution without ditching the hard drive unless absolutely necessary.
Please help, any advice is welcome.

I would partition a small (~500mb would be more than enough) section of the hard drive to ext3/4 and use it for Entware. If you label it Optware and Automatic Mounting is turned on, DD-WRT will auto mount it to /opt.
ext4 would be recommended for Hard drives. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.
