I hope to have shortly the WL-500g and will use it with a HP Officejet G85.

I was wondering if theoretically functions like scanning/faxing would be possible over the Asus Router.

I read in this Forum that USB does not work for the G85, so I plan to use the LPT-port to print over the LAN (WL-500g > LPT > G85).

To access the scan function (not used often) I ask me if I can use in addition an USB-cable (PC > USB > G85); as G85 does not support LPT & USB at the same time this cable has to be unplugged normally.

The remaining option is to simply unplug the LPT-cable from the router and plug it in the PC with scan drivers.
