MBP 14 and Canon MP220

Submitted by Denys.5 on #1

Hello)
Can anyone help me with the next issue:

Printer doesn't want to work via virtualhere with MBP 14 2021. Scanner works OK. 
Printer prints to the middle of the paper and then stops. 

While connected directly via cable printer and scanner works also OK. 

GL-AR300M16
Firmware version - 4.5.9
Computer - Macbook pro 14 2021, Monterey 12.6.2
All In One printer - Canon mp220
Driver from MP230, because this one is the closest which was released for Monterey.

Sounds like its a network latency problem. In the virtualhere client right click USB Hubs->About->Statistics. What does that show?

OK that latency is not too bad but i still think it very likely is latency.

Virtualhere wont drop or stop transmitting.

However the printer is probably getting confused because the signal is slightly delayed being sent over the network.

Is the gl-inet connected via wifi or via ethernet?

If its connected via wifi, try connecting it via ethernet if you can, so see if that resolves it.

By the way with Acer 5742G Win10 Pro works perfect( the same printer and the same GL-AR300M16)

Here is the screenshot with latency on Win10 Pro:

p. s. Yes, GL-AR300M16 is connected via wifi. 

Maybe the problem is in MacOS?

Yeah probably something with macos. i mean that printer has been discontinued since 2014 and there is no updated mac drivers for years so there is probably some issue caused by that. Even thought it works locally. I dont know what the issue is...
