My experience setting up the wl500gvp2 router as a print server
I am the proud owner of this magical device . In addition to its basic functions, this router can also serve as a print server and file wash thanks to the presence of two USB 2.0 ports.
My hands didn’t get to setting up filewashing, but the print server is my old dream.
The firmware I have is from Oleg , version 1.9.2.7-10. Printer - Xerox 3120 (similar to Samsung 1510).
A small digression: on the Russian Internet there is a wonderful forum wl500g.info , it is run by the very Oleg, from whom I have firmware. The first thing you should do after buying any asus router is to go there. A lot of interesting and useful.

Give a command
The program is
We will not disappoint him.
After that, we put the printer driver on the machine with which we are going to print. Those. we do everything that is written in this manual , except for item 11. Select the correct printer driver.
After that, everything worked for me, which I was incredibly happy!
