So I have friend that's wireless router recently died and needs to get something new. However, she recently bought a new laptop and wants to move away from her desktop, which is about 6yrs old, and do everything wirelessly. This was information that I was not privy to prior to having her buy a D-Link DIR-615 and now needs to upgrade.

Anyways, she uses HughesNet as her ISP (remote area) and the router will take some special configuration to work with thier NAT/DHCP based satellite modem. Anyways, am I right in assuming as long as the router has a USB interface that I should be able to hook up any USB printer to is and be able to share the printer on the network? I am currently looking at getting her a D-Link DIR-628 if the above is true (and no brand does not matter but price does, less than $100, cheaper if possible).
 
is it an all-in-one printer (scanner fax), or is it a standard printer? I'm sure there's a compatibility list of approved printers. Those All in ones often don't play nice with wireless bridge's or print servers.

No it is a stand printer (pretty sure it is doesnt have copy and know for sure there is no fax as she has a separate fax).
