3500L usb port printer problem

Trying to get a hp F4280 printer to work plugged into the router's usb port. 

I have Tomato Firmware v1.28.9053 MIPSR2-beta K26 USB Ext.

 

The printer is just not showing on any computers.  I telnet into the router to look if its there and it is.  /dev/usb/lp0  it shows on the web interface aswell.  I'm not all that great with linux and its been a long time since i used any linux so I dont know what else to do.

I should be able to find the printer on the network under \\lp0  but it says its not there.  printer is on....tried resetting router and all that didnt work.  Maybe I am missing something ..this firmware is fairly advanced for my level of expertise :)

does anyone have any possible solutions?
