I have a usb printer connected to my router (VR600 v2) with print server feature enabled. I managed to print using windows  but I can't find a away to do the same on linux.

I was hoping to find some answers like what kind of protocol is used by the print server and how to manually configure it as there were tutorials for TL-PS110U Print Server

For hardware print servers there is a tutorial for manual installation under Linux - here.

But we are talking about VR600 DSL modem router software print server controller which doesn't support Linux.

I doubt that you'll find any deep technical details about it here.

I have something in my mind I think it might work my brother has a pc with window so I setup everything and it worked fine 

my next step is to share the printer on the network from his pc and deal with windows firewall rules ( I think that'd work )

 

@terziyski thanks for your quick replies I really appreciate it <3.
