Bonjour for windows: "The printer you have selected is no longer available"

Whenever I go to try and set up sharing my imacs printer with wifes windows computer, the bonjour for windows app at first sees my two printers, but as I select them I then get a message stating that "the bonjour printer you have selected is no longer available. Please make sure the printer is powered on and plugged in." It of course is on, powered and plugged in, and receives print jobs from my mac. I have also configured printer sharing in OS X 10.6 to allow for "everyone" to print. Don't get any firewall messages either.
Same problem happens for me when I am trying to connect from windows running under Parallels on my ibook.
Has anyone run across this problem and can offer guidance? I'm running out of hair to pull out!
Thanks in advance,
"I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC... and we're trying to play nicely together." (mumble-mumble-grumble...)

Problem solved!! Somehow. After being in try everything and anything mode (remove/add printer, update drivers (again), shut down/restart, etc), I think I solved the problem my changing sharing permissions. I still couldn't print though. Kept getting the "printer cannot be contacted over the network" error message. After much searching and reading things I didn't really understand, I noticed I kept running across this statement that Windows 7 does not play well with DHCP and the printer should be assigned a static IP address. I found this forum item that tells simply how to do that: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1725525. The big thing was that it had me add the printer as a local printer where I had been trying to add it as a network printer. I never would have thought to do that. Then you put in the Airport address and that's it. It worked!
This whole thing made it very clear why I moved from Windows to Mac. I should never have had to spend a whole day trying to get a network printer to print. Good luck to everyone having this issue.

what is your aim ?
You can only extend volumes on the same disk.
Example: You have a disk of 100 GB, and you create a volume of only 50GB. You can extend this disk up to the remaining 50 GB in the same disk. You cannot extend a volume to use another disk.
In your case, your two volumes (Partitions) are using the full disk space, so you cannot extend.
If you want to aggregate two disks, you have to use a striping tool like to have RAID0 for example. But only when you are dealing with new disks.
I guess you are using virtualization. So you are attaching VHDs (Hyper-V) or VMDK (VMWare).
To extend a VHD, backup first your machine (Make a copy of the VM VHD or VMDK)
Use a tool to extend this VHD (or VMDK)
Then when you start your VM, you will be able to extend, becasue you extended the entire disk, and you will find available space where to extend

CS4 Upgrade, the serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected

I have a valid CS2 premium license and have installed CS4 upgrade to a new machine but get the dreaded error "the serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected" Now I got this error when I originally installed in 2009, back then I could call customer service and get the problem resolved but now when I phone I get an automated message saying phone support is not available for CS4? Does anyone know of a work around or a UK number where I can get this resolved? Any help would be appreciated.

Under purchased items in the APP Store, it say that the item you have requested is currently not available in the US store. The item in question is Mountain Lion OS X which I have already paid for. Any ideas to retrieve this?

When you submit a podcast you should get an email acknowledging the submission. If you subsequently submit it again you will get an error message saying that it's already been submitted.
It then has to be assessed by a real person, which can take some time - a couple of weeks seems to be common, but it can be longer: however since March seems an unreasonably long time.
When it's accepted (or rejected) you should get an email saying so, in the first case giving you a link to the Store page.
More than that I can't tell you: obviously I don't have access to the inner workings of the Store. You could try asking Support, but I have to say you probably won't get a helpful answer. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

Bonjour for Windows HELP!

I have a Brother Printer connected to an Airport Express. All God's Macs print fine.
I installed Bonjour for Windows on the toy Dells in the house. I run the Printer Wizard from the Bonjour folder and the Brother Printer shows up. I choose it, I get hourglass, Brother Printer disappears.
Any thoughts?

I'd suggest you try asking in the Bonjour for Windows forum. You'll probably be more likely to get help there.
Good luck.

Bonjour for windows gives this error - You do not have sufficient access...

I installed Bonjour for windows on a PC running XP. When I run the Bonjour app from windows I can see the printer I wish to connect to. It is shared off of my G3 server. When I try to connect I get the following error,
"You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer"
I have done some research through Apple's info database and found,
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302408
I followed the instructions and still I get the same error. I have rebooted the PC deleted all the printers under the printer window. But no luck. I found a similar request by another apple forum user. His issue was the same but he was using 'Parallels' emulator. But no solution was provided.
Any suggestions?

Well this is what I've done to date to try to resolve this issue.
I uninstalled Bonjour for Windows from my PC. I checked Apples support pages dealing with Bonjour for Windows (BfW). As suggested I deleted all printers in my printer window, (to delete all possible print Queues). I updated my Windows to the latest patch for XP. I reinstalled BfW, with the XP Firewall turned on. It is suggested that BfW will make the necessary changes to the XP firewall to allow traffic going through port 5353. I have tried more than one printer off of my G3 and I double checked my external router port restrictions, and I turned off the firewall on my G3, shared mt printers in OS X, and even turned on windows file sharing. I even updated my G3 to 10.4.8
I pinged my G3 from my XP machine it's there. Also I can see the G3 with it's printers when I browse the network from the XP box. Also I'm on the same local subnet 192.168.2.x
The only thing I have not done yet is see if it is possible to ping a bonjour host (my G3) from a bonjour client (XP box). That would at least verifiy the 5353ports.
Anyone have a bonjour utility to do that? Probably have to run in a Windows enviroment. Or can a ping packet be directed to use a particular port?

TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
1. The phone charges it's battery
2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
In iTunes
3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hi ralphagir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.
Safely disconnect iPod

Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." Even after closing and reopening the program, the print command is greyed out so I cannot select any printer. This also happens with a Brother laser printer. Both printers will produce a test page out side of the Adobe product. Help!

I cannot get any help either. I get the message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." I have reinstalled all drivers, powered off/on all printers (2 of them - a Brother HL - 4040cn and an Epson Stylus Pro 7890 - which all worked fine until this morning). There appears to be no path to a solution. I have read all the forums and tried about 20 different suggestions all to no avail. Reboots, changing cables, reinstalling printers and drivers and Photoshop CS6 - ALL TO NO AVAIL. On a macbook pro retina with 10.10.3. This issue is out there and some get solutions - but not all - that's my crowd...the not all crowd. I have yet to be able to print from CS6 any more. This is a show stopper and my patience is wearing thin. And I'm tired of stupid questions like "is your printer powered on?" give me a break. This appears to be an adobe photoshop cs6 problem - as I can print from every other application. Anyone have any ideas? Adobe should have something?... Adobe system info below:

Bonjour for Windows in Parallels stops printing in OSX

Since I installed Parallels a few weeks ago I had no need to print from Windows. Yesterday I had need so I installed the Apple Bonjour for Windows and the necessary print driver (Brother HL-1430) and was able to print from within Windows.
The issue I have is that I can no longer print from OS-X. In fact every time I try and print from whatever program the program quits unexpectedly. The same happens if I try using Page Setup.
I have tried all the solution offered on Apple's support web site but to no avail. Reinstalled drivers the lot. The printer shows up in About this Mac.
My printer is connected wirelessly via an Airport Express. This works fine for Parallels with Windows XP and for our two other Macs. It just does not work with my iMac in OSX and this is only since I installed Bonjour for Windows on this machine.
Can anyone help with a solution?

I have a Canon multi-function printer (MP830) attached via USB to a Mac G4 (with Mac OS X Tiger). At one time, I had it set so a Windows 2000 PC could print to it but deinstalled it after some printing issues, and have been unable to get to working again. The machines are connected together via a Netgear router. As far as I know, everything is the same as it was before, yet I cannot get it to work as it did.
- The printer works fine from the Mac.
- If I connect the printer to the PC, it works fine.
- On the PC, using Bonjour for Windows, I cannot see the printer attached to the Mac but I can see, and print to, an Epson printer that is attached to a different Mac.
- And from the second Mac, I am able to see -- but not successfully print to -- the Canon printer. The print job stays in the queue of the second Mac and says "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry... Error: Connection failed with error."
- I have tried:
-- de-installing and re-installing Bonjour for Windows and the Canon print drivers on the PC
-- and have de-installed and re-installed the Canon drivers on the Mac
-- I have removed and re-added the Canon printer on the Mac. Printer Sharing is on, and this printer is checked in the Sharing box.
Any suggestions?
G4 Quicksilver and Dell PC with Windows 2000 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Canon MP830

Thank you. Those are beautifully written procedures.
Looks like it's a network issue. I reach the step, "Adding a printer using the wizard":
You must enter the following URL, you must use the Queue Name you noted down earlier
http://<IP address of Mac>:631/printers/Queue Name
which I do, entering
http://192.168.0.4:631/printers/MP830
and I get the following error:
"Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."
And then I am toast!
Using the other procedure, I simply don't see the Mac's printers in the Bonjour Wizard's "Browse for Bonjour Printers" window.
Not sure where to go from here -- any ideas?
The Mac's IP (set via DHCP) is 192.168.0.4, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC is 192.168.0.5, I can't find the subnet mask.
Pretty sure it's a network config issue, especially isnce I can Bonjour to my other Mac.
TIA...

Bonjour for windows: "The printer you have selected is no longer available"
