Many routers that have USB ports only support portable hard drives on that port. Check your router's specs to be sure it supports printers.
Once you verify it supports printers and you plug it in, you should be able to add it just like a network printer. What operating system are you using?
Also, remember, that USB port wil NOT support scanning, only printing (if that).

From the manual for your router: "USB port: The USB port is a USB host and can be used for connecting a USB hard drive, flash drive, or printer."
It should work (for printing, not scanning).

Open System Preferences (from the Apple menu), go to Printers & Scanners.
Click the plus sign to add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
