YEp I have the same problem, tried to connect the 922 we have to the D-Link DP-300U and it was shown by the print server as off line. D-Link told me they didn't support multifunction devices. I tried to see if there was another driver I could use for the 922 but nothing found. I didn't expect to be able to use all the scan functions etc just wanted to simply print.
So took the 922 off and added the 720 we had, it shows on line, great I thought, then as you found it hangs after 1 print and the only way to clear it is to re-boot.
Called D-Link, they said it's a Windows problem (using XP) and that I should try un-selecting the options until I find what causes the lock. So with much playing around and plenty of re-booting here is what I have found.
You can get the printer to work if you go into printers and faxes select the properties of the 720 and under the advanced tab select the print processor. If you change this to WinPrint and then either RAW or TEXT in the other box the printer will work. But........
I think the colour print quality is poor, why because it does not use the Dell 720 driver that you adjust the settings in when installing the printer and driver. I have gone back to trying the Dell 720 driver and changing settings but so far I can't get over the 1 print issue. I've even tried changing the printer set up for when the printer is connected direct to the laptop but same thing.
OK, sorry for the long message, but now you will have everything I know so far, I'm going to try the WinPrint later today and see if there is a way to improve the colour print quality. At the moment if you try it you will see the different colour layers are slightly off.
