Update: I think you're screwed, but read on to understand why. Simple answer: The coders who made the software and firmware for the F9K1102v1 did not have Linux access in mind. The code is blackbox and writing over the firmware and software with Linux code is not practical due to the lack of support for the Belkin N600 DB F9K1102v1 wireless router. That's not to say it's impossible. You would need a fair amount of coding experience and so on to make something like this work. If there is any other way, I'm not aware of it; and I reason a person who has more experience with hardware and coding would. Maybe the reason no one has touched the router is due to the Broadcom chip? Seems like an ancient issue from back in the day... Broadcom chips have been known to be a b*tch that requires reverse engineering and large amounts of coffee.
Your solutions:
(1) Buy a router that is compatible with open-source router firmware
(2) Hook the printer to a computer and network the computer to the router (I did this recently)
The rest may be irrelevant but interesting:
Seems like you would want to install HPLIP for the driver and use CUPs to establish the connection to the router. You would have to figure out the location of the printer in the router, I assume. I'm assuming it's the IP address of the router along with some USB information: This appears to be the mysterious part. Also, check your firewalls. Maybe there is a way to hack out the location of the printer connected to the router in Windows. That requires more networking knowledge than I have. This, at the moment, seems like a networking issue.
How the printer is getting its identity from the router is what is mysterious. An understanding of the underlying code appears to be important here. So far, it seems that I've come across someone wiping the code of a wireless router and replacing it with open souce:

I'm not sure if that's what a person will have to do in this situation, but if the code is blackbox and the location of the printer hidden, that might be the direction you head.
Also, list the past threads yous saw.
So far, I'm thinking an open-source router code with CUPs on it. With the open-source router, you could grab the identity of the printer location, as that website lists. However, I don't know how else you're going to grab the identity of the printer hooked up to the USB port of the wireless router. Also, there is this issue as the website lists:

One issue that we face having a wireless router act as a print server, is that this wasn’t its original function, and therefore there are certain constraints that we must get around. 1 is that the router has an extremely small and limited internal memory. With CUPs, when a user sends a job to the printer, the whole file gets transferred across, and needs to be stored, or cached somewhere while the printer gets ready to start printing. Therefore, we need to set up a usb drive for spooling. You may get away with not having to do this step, but you also may have print job issues down the track if you’re printing a big file. Chances are you have a spare usb flash drive lying around not being used, so why not just do the extra step.

Here is how that person got the identity of the printer:

Then, you need to change the permissions on /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb to 700.
To do this, enter: chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb.
This changes the behavior of cups, which normally tries to execute the backend through a user account other than root. This forces the backend to run as root from cups.
Okay! Got this far? Try entering the following command:
root@OpenWrt:/# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
You should hopefully see something like:
DEBUG: list_devices
DEBUG: usb_find_busses=1
DEBUG: usb_find_devices=7
direct usb://Canon/MX310%20series?serial=406F4E&interface=1 “Canon MX310 series” “Canon MX310 series” “MFG:Canon;CMD:BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe,PLI;SOJ:TXT01;MDL:MX310 series;CLS:PRINTER;DES:Canon MX310 series;VER:1.030;STA:10;HRI:EU;MSI:E3;” “”
Yus! This is a good sign! This means that CUPs is talking correctly with your printers. Get an error? I originally had:
root@OpenWrt:/usr/lib/cups/backend# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb: can’t load library ‘libusb-0.1.so.4′
Fix:
root@OpenWrt:/usr/lib# opkg update
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfir...es/Packages.gz.
root@OpenWrt:/usr/lib# opkg install libusb

Maybe if running open-source and CUPs on the router, then CUPs could be run on the desktop computer and have the spool on the computer, thus use CUPS on the desktop to talk to CUPs on the router to print things out...
I think this thread is getting closer to a solve, however.

Thanks very much. I’ve tried that on Backfire box and it works. Especially that chmod part was what I missed. I have HP printer so I installed also hplip, so I chmoded backend/hp instead of usb. Since then Find new printer worked but only raw queue seems to work but haven’t tried a lot.
