Shareport and DIR-655
« on: February 16, 2010, 10:13:50 AM »

I am having problems getting my Samsung CLX-2160 printer (connected with USB) to work with my DIR-655 (firmware 1.33NA).  I am using Shareport 1.1.0, and while it can find the printer I cannot connect to it.  I have the print drivers installed on my computers (Vista and Windows 7, both wireless), but I'm not sure why I can't set Shareport to connect.  Any suggestions?

I can't wait to see what response someone comes up with. I have exactly the same problem with my Kodak 5500 AIO. I had a pretty bad time with the printer with v1.14, but I was able to get it work with that version most of the time, as long as I reinstalled both Shareport and the printer every couple of months.

But with v1.10 (yeah I love how the new version has an older version number, too), I had no problem with Shareport seeing the printer. But when I asked it to connect, all I got was status updating and back to ready again. I know the Kodak's were problematic, so I'm not real surprised, but here's the kicker - I also tried to connect an external USB hard drive to Shareport and had the same thing happen! So it's not all the printer's fault. After three separate uninstall-reinstall's, I'm done. It's too bad, the concept was a good one. But Dlink's got some serious [roblems with making it work. At least my DIR-655 is a good, rock solid router.

I have an HP printer and mine does the same thing.  I am still working on to configure it.

try to upgrade the beta shareport for the beta firmware of that router. I think that would fix the problem.
