When I tried to connect the printer, the SharePort utility says:
MP280 series connection failed

I got the same error messages on Windows 7 and OSX 10.9.1

The SharePort Version of Windows is 4.2.0
The OSX version is 4.3.0
The AP is DIR-645

I recommend that you phone contact D-Link support and get help to make sure the installer is installed correctly.

Also make sure that your disabling any 3rd party security programs on the PCs before starting the install. Re-enabled after the install.

Let us know how it goes.

I followed the steps in this link

Then the problem solved 

******the solution*******
Pre Instructions:
If you have been trying without success I suggest you do the following before starting.
-Uninstall all versions of SX Virtual Link that you have installed. (use the uninstaller provided, or use appzapper  http://www.appzapper.com/)
-Uninstall all versions of D-Link Shareport that you installed. (same methods)
-delete all installation files of the above as to prevent confusion or mistakes (+empty trash)
-Close all, and restart.

1.A  In the System Preference in Mac, delete your printer.
1.B  Restart.
2.  Download and use Silex utility rather than the d-link re branded version.  Much more stable.

2.B  restart.
3.  Start your printer first, open the utility and connect, print your document.
3.  To go from printing a document to scanning a document, you must disconnect the link, turn off the printer, and start again.  The utility does not work well with multifunction devices.

It turns out that SX-Virtual Link works much better than D-Link SharePort
