[Ru-Fi-Oh]

It quit again last night. My daughter tried to print something for school and it wouldn't connect. I didn't get a good look at the screen because she only told me this morning just before she was ready to leave. I didn't have time to mess around so I just power cycled the router so she could print her stuff. I'll have to wait for it to fail again to see what actually happened but she told me it just stuck at connecting and never printed. 

Are you using a 655? Try that new code with the new version of shareport if you are.

Yes its a 655 A4. For now I'm going to wait for it to happen again so I can see exactly whats going on when it fails. If it's the same problem as before then I will likely try the new code. She was in a panic (having waited till the last minute to tell me it didn't work) to get her stuff printed so I just rebooted the router. For now all I can say is I'm thinking about it but haven't committed to trying it just yet. I went 18 days until the first failure so it may be a while before I post back one way or the other. However if others try it and it works that may all change.

I may have found the glitch that stopped it from working. I just went up to double check the settings for the printer on her PC and noticed that even though the "Enable auto connect box" was checked, below that it said that Auto Printer connect has not been configured. I clicked the confirm button and now it says Auto Printer Connect can be used. I know I manually connected from her PC as a test but I must have missed that last step in the setup. Looks like my winning and crying may have been a false alarm.

OK, I just setup Shareport on my third PC which uses a wireless connection. Setup went OK and I printed a test page using the auto connect mode and it printed OK. I think this will be 27 days with Shareport working. I think I might have fixed my Shareport problem. A couple more weeks and a few more tests over my wifi and I'll call it a done deal.

hi,

tried the new beta firmware but i am encountering the generic usb did not disconnect properly, when i installed the beta firmware it works perfectly at the start for how many hours then the error message came out..

Well its been over a month and its still working. The only glitch I had was a user error on my part for not clicking a button during setup on one PC. Other than that it appears to be working as it should. All I can say is in my case I believe I had a bad flash when I initially went to 1.32na. The re-flash and redo of my router settings seems to have fixed my Shareport problems. Unless it quits again I likely won't add anything more to this post.
