Multiple printers in Tomato

I have an Asus WL-520GU with the newest USB tomato MOD, and a USB hub connected to the router, everything show up in the USB part of tomato fine, the printers work great if just one is plugged in. but with two plug in, all print jobs just go to one particular printer no matter what printer I select in windows, I used the IP address of the router to set them up, but I had to use raw mode for printing and port 9100, they both would not work under LPR mode. So what do in windows or tomato to get both printers to together

Only one instance of printer

Only one instance of printer server is started automatically, and listens on port 9100. If you need to support more than 1 printer, add commands to run additional instances of p910nd to your startup script.
like this

/usr/sbin/p910nd -b -f /dev/usb/lp1 1

In Windows you should also add two printers with different ports.

p910nd is an open source

p910nd is an open source project. You can find its documents on sourceforge, I think.
