Hi, i have an asus wl500g-premium and i want to use 2 printers at the same time, tried some configuration but didnt manage to get it work :(. Is working only 1 ( the one that is discovered by router ). I have the latest update, oleg's firmware but still, maybe i`m missing something. If you could share...please do. Thanks.

Nobody knows? or there isnt possible ?.
What says dmesg? Are both routers accepted by the usb ports and are the drivers initiated?
I guess:
1) both printers should recognized by OS (see dmesg output)
2) the second instance of p910nd should be started manually using something like this:
p9100d -f /dev/usb/lp1 1
After that, the second printer should be available under port 9101 while the first one will use standard port 9100

Umm, ok, i'll try and see what will happen. Thanks.
Ok, so both printers are recognised by router :

But if i enter p9100d -f /dev/usb/lp1 1 in the system command table it returns me : "sh: p9100d: not found" . Any help ? do I need to install some additional patches? compile programs, kernel?. Thanks

If anyone manage to use 2 printers at the same time with this router, please share.
I haven't seen a message with logs, however they look really good. Both printers are recognized correctly as lp0 and lp1.
The correct name of this daemon is p910nd. You may find its manpage e.g. here: http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/printsrv/p910nd.html
The correct line to start it looks:
p910nd -f /dev/usb/lp1 1
or
/usr/sbin/p910nd -f /dev/usb/lp1 1
