Here's what's needed to setup a Canon USB printer as a network printer using the Siemens Gigaset SE551 router. First, on the router:

  1. Plug the printer into the router
  2. Log into the router's web interface (default is 192.168.2.1)
  3. Select Advanced Settings » USB » Print Server
  4. Turn on Print Server and verify the router detects the printer
On the Mac:
  1. Open up the Print & Fax Syste Preferences panel
  2. Click the plus sign to add new printer
  3. Select IP in the toolbar, then set the following:
  4. Click Add
It took me forever to figure out that the queue must be called lpt1. Hope this helps!
