same problem here,
removed old app reinstalled new app, says installation incomplete. looks like im gonna have to move the laser printer next to my mac so i can print to it. tbh the app hardly ever worked anyway before i upgraded to high constant restarts to get it to print, i need to find a better solution to the problem.. i might just go with another brand as the QOS is messed up on this router aswell

I was having the same problem, having to restart (router, PC, printer - sometimes all 3 at once) just to get the connected printer to print. It showed it was in Ready status, but kept getting printer error messages on my PC. The problem turned out to be my printer USB cable, which is about 15 feet long. Even though it was less than a year old, once I replaced it with an Anker cable of the same length and the problem went away. :smileyvery-happy:
That was a month ago. I now have a new issue - the USB Control Center doesn't want to connect with my printer. I can switch from "Available" status to "Mannually Connected by (PC name)". After 10 minutes it disconnects. :smileyfrustrated: IDK if this was caused by the router firmware update, or the Win-10 update a few days ago, since they were both just a couple of days apart. I'm leaning toward the Win-10 being the culpret, since I was able to print after updating the router.

I am still waiting for the ReadySHARE USB Printer utility version 2.4 for Mac High Sierra to be released.

Yeah, still waiting here for Mac iOS 10.13 update too :( I might just opt to purcahse a standalone print server...
It just seems as though this is planned obsolescence - I'm comfortable and aware that drivers update, etc., but this is just a real pain that I can count on long term use.
