Hello joe_wht,
Currently, the add-ons/apps listed at ReadyNAS Apps are the ones submitted to NETGEAR to work with ReadyNAS OS6 units.
Support for printers on USB ports of ReadyNAS has been removed from ReadyNAS OS6. Probably the one you saw is for OS4 or OS5.
You may also post suggestions and ideas at Idea Exchange board. Adding kudos to the ideas will help as development team will be reviewing the post that has the most kudos for considering it to add to the product's future functionality.

There is a CUPS download in super_poussin's drop box here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Current-NETGEAR-and-Partners/Addons-available-For-R6/td-p/842756. But the CUPS drivers folder only contains x64, so that download won't work with the RN214.

Perhaps the AirPrint app would be worth a try: https://rnxtras.com/addons/rnairprint-readynas-6-all
