Here is the router details,
Router ModelDlink DIR862-A1
Firmware Version DD-WRT v3.0-r40559 std (08/06/19)
Kernel VersionLinux 3.18.140 #49350 Tue Aug 6 03:36:37 +04 2019 mips
I have enabled USB core and printer support settings from the service section as mentioned in one of the blog. I am not seeing port 9000/9100 listening when I ssh'ed to the router. I have also tried running entware but no luck with packages. There is no package available named kmod-usb-printer or p910nd. Am I missing something here ?

Thanks for the quick response.
I have updated to the latest firmware but still don’t see any printer ports. I have attached the ps listing.

Ok, what is the output of:
Code: nvram show | grep usb
The key parameters that should be present are:
Code: usb_enable=1
usb_printer=1
If those are not correct, you can try doing:
Code: nvram set usb_enable=1
nvram set usb_printer=1
nvram commit
reboot
If the parameters ARE correct, then there is a problem. Otherwise, there is an issue with the webUI save and/or apply functions (still). _________________"Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Technically not the easy way but support is always possible via Entware: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Entware
Then install p901nd and cups. _________________Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.
