  1. Install usb.essentials. Package usbutils is optional. 
    # opkg update
# opkg install kmod-usb2
# opkg install usbutils

  2. Install usb printer support: 
    # opkg install kmod-usb-printer

  3. Install p910nd print server: 
    # opkg install p910nd

  4. Edit /etc/config/p910nd: 
    config p910nd
        option device        /dev/lp0
        option port          0   
        option bidirectional 1
        option enabled       1

  5. Configure firewall to allow port 9100 (/etc/config/firewall): 
    # Allow printer                            
config rule                                
        option src lan                     
        option proto tcp                   
        option dest_port 9100              
        option target ACCEPT

    If clients are connecting from wan then the first line should be: 
    option src wan

  6. Enable automatic start of print server when router boots: 
    #/etc/init.d/p910nd enable

  7. Restart router: 
    # reboot
