if shareport problem on clean windows and clean firmware, I think it should narrow down to device specific conflict....eg. A1/A2/A3/A4 router hardware or USB device specific driver (eg. the specific printer driver).

Purchased a new printer to make sure it wasn't the printer, nope def not the printer. People with A2,A3,A4 are experiencing issues... except for eddiez. Could we have more people post and confirm if they have A2,A3,A4 and shareport is fully functional for them.

Shareport works fine on my Rev A2 with HP Deskjet 6540 and 6840 printer.
Samsung CLP-300 is very slow with graphic prints but text pages are ok.
Big brother Samsung CLP-350 has problems after going into power safe mode.

I think the difference are the drivers and kind of printer.
Is it a windows (GDI) printer where the computer does the job and sends the complete print data or is it a printer with own memory which just receives a print job in a printing language (i.e. PCL) and has to process the printing on its own.

I could imagine there are more problems with GDI printers as the whole print is transmitted via silex virtual link. If there are interrupts, the printer may think it is the end of page and will print the rest onto a second one or it skips or prints wrong data ...

I think the next firmware and shareport tool will fix again some of the problems. The next version is already waiting on silex homepage for the new d-Link firmware

Installed the whole Silex driver and app and it works just fine

so your saying shareport now works perfectly with the new update?

[Demonized]

I never had any problems. So nothing to be solved.

I have had no luck with the silex software either.

.. which was most likely caused by a driver or something with the firewall. But what the heck. There are many benefits for reinstalling an OS.

Demonized, would you please amplify your comment? I'm very intersted to hear what you did and why.

Hello all, I too installed the Silex driver but to no avail. I'm still running FW 1.32 on HW Ver A4.  A Router restart is the only way for me to connect.

Being that so many people are having so many problems with these new firmware releases, why won't Dlink allow us the capabilities to revert back to the previous versions when the shareport did work (ver 1.21). That should resolve some or most of our problems at least until they have solid working Ver.  I mean really its only software they can make it happen!

I installed the newer ánd the previous version next to Shareport to see if there were any other modifications besides the skins. Both versions worked fine and only differ in the skins provided. It means the application is taken 'as-is' from Silex. This also makes a conclusion that possible issues need to be addressed in the firmware.

I installed the newest version to see if there have been any changes to the connection method, but since I don't have any issues I am not able to judge this properly.

You're on the the very few and fortunate ones Demonized

It seems so. But don't forget people come to a forum to solve an issue. Those who have no issue will not complain on a forum. part of those will perhaps also have an issue but don't want to spend time on it and just leave it like that. But I think there's a great majority that has no issues (an assumption, I know). Otherwise there would have been very harsh and destructive reports everywhere on (semi-)professional sites...

Yes you're right there may be others having these issue and some that just don't know where to turn after speaking to a "product specialist" at Dlink.  And some may just circumvent the shareport problem by just not using it altogether, however, if Dlink doesn't fix this problem soon I think we will start seeing those harsh destructive reports sooner than later. There are enough angry people here to make a stink.

Hmmm, capable maybe but justified that's another matter...There is truly no product that has no issues.
These issues are not generic in their nature. If they were there might be some justification, but my view is that the issues are not generic.

I agree. I suppose at this point we just hope for the best!
