Yes, the DLink DP-301P looks similar to my DP-311P ! ;-)
I will have to check into this unit at their websites and study the tech
specs !!

As for 631 versus 9100:
These are two different protcols !?
The Canon works without any additional 9100 as lpd://192.168.1xy
1xy !! ;-)

Will do more checks, studies and tests and get back again later.
