Bonjour for Windows won't work on my XP Home with SP2, but it used to

Per my subject line, I have a Dell Dimension L7334 running Windows XP Home with SP2. I have an Apple AirPort Extreme base station. I can't get the **** Windows machine to recognize the Epson CX4800 printer I have connected to the Extreme. My MacBook Pro sees it wirelessly and prints to it all right, but the Windows dinosaur won't. Can anyone help?

have you checked windows firewall is not blocking it? see the faq on apple's bonjour site

  • Bonjour for Windows no longer works after SP3 is installed

    Bonjour for Windows was working fine until SP3 came out. Now I can see the printer and Bonjour goes through the motions to set it up, but I can't print to the printer.
    The whole construct of "Printer.local" or "AirPortExpress.local" doesn't seem to work in a printer Port configuration any more.
    I can ping the Printer.local or AirPortExpress.local in a command window, but the print spooler can't seem to send anything to the printer if the name.local construct is used in the port configuration.
    If I replace the printer.local name in the port configuration with the IP address instead of the printer.local name, I can print fine. The only exception to this is printers hanging off of an AirPortExpress. I can't print to any printer that is attached to an Airport Express. Even if I setup a port to the IP address, I can't print to that printer.
    Another user that had this problem uninstalled SP3, I'm contemplating that now.

    I have Bonjour installed on my ThinkPad running WinXP. It can't see my LAN-connected HP printer. I don't even see an option to add a Bonjour printer.
    ( how do you add a Bonjour printer??
    Nor can any of my Macs see the shared documents folder on the PC. They could before I upgraded to SP3. Sharing for that folder is turned on, of course
    I removed the Bonjour component and reinstalled it. No diference.
    I downloaded the latest Bonjour installer from Apple and installed that.
    Turned firewall off. No difference.
    The Windows Component Manager shows that the Bonjour service is running. I stopped and restarted the service. No joy.
    The Windows Event Viewer shows that the Bonjour service is logging informational error messages ID=1 from time to time.

  • Nano formated for windows won't work on my mac

    I just bought the 2 gig new nano but it is formated for windows and I use a mac. Itunes does not recoignize it and neither does my finder. I tried to reset the nano but it won't even do that. Granted, the nano isn't fully charged, but it reads more than half charged, so i'm assuming it would be ready to sync with itunes 7.0.
    Anyone else have the same problem or at least know a solution?
    Thanks in advance, Haskell

    Sorry abou that. I found out by reading more of the posts that the correct way to reset the new nano ipod is by pressing both the menu AND enter (center) key at the same time. When I read the apple faq's, it said to press the menu button only.... now everything sync properly. Thanks again.

  • Trying to install features for PowerPivot and Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012 with SP2, but no access to key?

    Hi,
    I had installed SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on WFE and App Server. This is test farm with 1 WFE and 1 APP and 1 SQL Server.
    However, we had a heap of issues with Windows Claims Authentication and PowerPivot - issues were raised with "unable to make a connection to EntityDataSource" . Now we uninstalled the PowerPivot and Reporting Services features and wanted to install
    with the SQL Server 2012 with SP2. Originally SP2 was installed seperately and we had read there had been issues.
    Anyway on trying to install the features again using the SQL Server 2012 with SP2 iso I get 
    Could not open key UNKNOWN\Components
    I don't want to start deleting or changing permissions as quite dodgey. What is this key for anyway and how do I resolve my issue.
    Thanks.
    John.

    Hi John,
    Did you meet the error message during the process of configuring the PowerPivot for SharePoint?
    If yes, I suppose that the existing features or components have not been uninstalled completely.
    I recommend to delete the two keys left when uninstalling the PowerPivot and please make a copy of the registry keys before you delete the two keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServiceProxy
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServicea
    Please check the steps in the link below to see if there anything wrong when you uninstalling the PowerPivot and then re-install it to see how it works:

  • Firefox 10.0.2 won't work correctly (formatting, paragraphs, editing) with a forum I use

    I use the community forum on Cakewalk.com and found that Firefox 10.0.2 does not allow for responding to the posts of others, nor does it allow for proper formatting of paragraphs when posting and often causes the forum to issue error messages.
    I never had this problem with earlier versions and to verify that Firefox is the problem, I accessed the forum using Internet Explorer and found no problems.

    Did it ever work with a Firefox 10 version?
    It is possible that the server doesn't recognize the Firefox 10 user agent and sends incompatible code and disable some features.
    Try to modify the Firefox/10.0.2 in the user agent to Firefox/9.0.2 in case it fails on browser detection.

  • Printer shared from my Mac is not seen from a PC using Bonjour for Windows

    I am going nuts here, hope someone can help.
    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 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.

  • Quicktime for windows doesn't work, wont let me uninstall or update.Help!

    Quicktime for windows doesn't work, won't let me uninstall (tells me fatal errro) or update (tells me it encountered an error on installation). Help!I am running Windows XP on an Intel pentium PC. Any ideas? Dvora

    When you get this fatal error uninstalling, try a full removal of iTunes and related programs with an installer clean up of any that do not uninstall cleanly:
    Here is a method:
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • HT2305 Is there a Bonjour for Windows 8?

    I cannot seem to find Bonjour for Windows 8 and the previous version I downloaded does not appear to recognize my printer

    Hi,
    I afraid you will not be able to use the scanner with Windows 8.1, it is not compatible with the OS.
    Regarding VueScan, I afraid it would not be an option as well, the application only support your scanners if there are drivers for the OS:
    If there isn't an HP scanner driver at www.hp.com for your operating system, then unfortunately VueScan won't work with this scanner.
    You may try using the Vista drivers by running the drivers using the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter as listed below.. select Not Listed from the programs list and browse to the installation file for Vista:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03401961&lc=en#N63
    The installation file for Vista can be downloaded below:

  • 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.

  • How to connect an HP 111 designjet with my airport extreme 2nd gen with bonjour for windows

    Hi:
    I have an HP 111 Tray, plug into an airport extreme 2nd Gen, both works properly running in a PC with windows 7.
    When I start Bonjour for windows it identify de printer, but when i continue my printer is not in the list, I used the browse buttom and selected the .inf file that is contained in the driver and Bonjour collapsed everytime
    Any one can Help me??
    Thank you guys
    Hola:
    Ante todo buenos dias, os cuento mi problema:
    Tengo una impresora gran formato HP 111 Tray (con bandeja) enchufada a un router Airport Extreme de Apple de 2ª generacion, ambos funcionando correctamente y con las ultimas actualizaciones de firmware, el caso es que al abrir el asistente BOnjour para imprimir en red a la hora de seleccionar la impresora no aparece entre las opciones disponibles, a pesar de reconocerla. Al darle a examinar para que utilize los datos de Información sobre la instalación (.inf) que me he bajado de la pagina, Bonjour se queda colgado siempre
    He probado desde dos ordenadores diferentes conectados a la red y nada
    Alguien sabe como puedo solucionarlo.
    La impresora se conecta con un USB al router de Apple
    Muchas gracias de antemano

    What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
    What firmware is the AE?
    Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
    Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
    Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
    I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
    I would do a couple of things..
    1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
    3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
    Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

  • Bonjour for Windows drivers

    I have a Photosmart 1215 printer on my mac which works fine, but due to a router problem, I had to reinstall the printer to my Airport Express. The bonjour for windows does not have the correct driver. How do I get this done? I downloaded the drivers from HP, but it is an .exe file which Bonjours does not want. Very frustrating. I would like to update my printer, but again there are not the new model drivers listed in Bonjour.
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • 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?
