What problems do you have?
From reports here, it doesn't seem to be a persistent issue with the R7900P. Other stiff, yes, but not ReadyPRINT.
and I would guess Readyshare vault, as well
That's by design. One of various "Cloud" services that Netgear has withdrawn. Free parental controls is another one.
This is usually flagged up on the release notes for new firmware.

- Printers connected to the Nighthawk USB no longer appear in the ReadyShare Print USB control center. In the past, I could fix similar problems with a control center uninstall and reinstall, but not now. The cause is definitely the new R7900P firmware released last week, because nothing else is changed, and it worked just prior to the update. In fact, I cannot gain access to the usb via any other means, either. No parental controls and minimal security on the router. I think this will show up in other posts soon, as this firmware update takes some effort to install (web based auto install does not work). I would guess that another firmware update might be necessary to restore this functionality.
