Bonjour on Xp to Mac os 10.3.9

Hi Felix,
I have my G-3 ethernet connected to a wireless router. An HP 940C is connected to the Mac via USB. My laptop is a Toshiba Satalite with XP and Bonjour installed. When I use the XP machine it won't print to the 940c on the Mac. I had Networkmagic on the xp machine and it could see the Mac but nothing attached. The Mac can see the file share from the XP but not the other way around.
I would like to print from the xp wireless. The bonjour program has no printers listed in it's second dialog box.
What do I do now?
Thanks

The Bonjour Printer Wizard doesn't find your shared printer because Mac OS X 10.3.9 Printer Sharing does NOT use Bonjour. Mac OS X Printer Sharing started to advertise using Bonjour in Mac OS X 10.4. This is mentioned in the Bonjour for Windows read me. You'll need to use Felix's instructions for setting up a print queue manually on Windows or you could upgrade your Mac to 10.4 (assuming your G3 is not beige).

  • Wide - Area Bonjour / Back to my Mac:  Simple Setup Discussion | Tutorial

    Looking to start a new thread for SIMPLE setup of wide-area bonjour / Back to my Mac setup across multiple geo locations
    Objectives
    1. develop tutorial/instructions for mainstream setup of WAB across multiple greographcal locations
    2. Goal is for complete discovery in Leopard Finder of each computer setup across seperate locations
    3. Ability to file share/browse file structure of each local and remote computer
    4. Ability to use Screen Sharing across geographical locations to control/observe remote computers (alternatively use Apple Remote Desktop app)
    5. Appropriate listing of services in Bonjour Browser (local and global)
    6. (Wide) Access to airport disk
    7. Consistency. Many solution like back to my mac solo sometimes work sometimes does not depending on unidentifiable variables (across reboots with no material change)
    Setup
    1. Multiple LAN (local area networks) in different geographical locations (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3,...)
    2. Dynamic IP setup from ISP in each geographic locations (cable / DSL)
    3. Airport Extreme router in each location (perhaps later we can explore UPNP and other routers which complicate setup)
    Tools
    1. Leopard running on all machines
    2. Use of .mac (dot mac) account allowing for "back to my mac", xxxx.members.mac.com setup
    3. Bonjour preference Pane, with setup of Hostname, Registration and Browsing panes
    http://www.dns-sd.org/ClientSetup.html
    4. Bonjour Browser
    http://www.tildesoft.com/Programs.html
    5. Finder
    To show remote and local LAN computers in SHARED in left browsing pane
    6. Dyn DNS service line zoneedit or dyndns, if necessary
    7. Airport Configuration - Wide area bonjour -> config of Advanced/Bonjour ; Hostname, Domain, Name, Password
    Restrictions
    1. No Leopard Server
    2. no direct configuration of a DNS server. No line edits. Use of third party services (non paying if possible) if necessary but rather avoid detailed editing of server setup and maintenance. The idea is to create a fairly simple setup for individual/family/small business/SOHO across work/family/home environment not IT professional setup

    I have been trying on my own to achieve this, and although I am an advanced user I am not a Programmer/Developer. Sadly I have been utterly unsuccessful. It would be so wonderful if the proposed step-by-step guide would come to fruition...

    You check the apps on your phone for the data you are syncing with iCloud.  For example, if you have Mail, Contacts, Calendars in Reminders set to On in Settings>iCloud, the data in the mail, contacts, calendars and reminders apps on your phone is the data in your iCloud account.  If you are backing up to iCloud, your backup is there too.  If you have photo stream turned on, the photos in your my photo stream album in the Photos app from the last 30 days are in your iCloud account.  Some of this data is viewable on icloud.com from a computer.
    The data is automatically retrieved (synced) to your phone whenever you are connected to the internet. To restore to your iCloud backup, you have to erase the phone and go back through the initial setup screens to access it.

  • Anything printed using Bonjour from Windows to Mac is very light in color

    I dont get this at all. And it only started happening very recently. When using my printer connected to my Mac, and printing from my Windows Vista laptop (using Bonjour of course), all of the colors are very light. Black text is light grey, and all of the other colors are very washed out. I have no idea whats going on here. My printer is a Canon MP160.
    Any help would be extremely appreciated.
    Message was edited by: Zeddy

    I have the same problem after I updated to 10.5.5 yesterday. My Canon MP 780 works perfectly printing from my mac and all the networked macs in the house. When I connect the printer to Vista (on my mac) running in Parallels directly (by checking my printer in "Devices- USB"), it works perfectly; but when I try to print networked from Vista via Bonjour, it uses blue ink for text. Prior to the update it printed perfectly without having to connect it to Parallels.

  • See Bonjour Printer on Intel Macs; see printer but can't set-up/print on G4

    I have an HP Laserjet connected to the usb port of my airport extreme. Using the Print & Fax preference set up and printing are fine on my Macbook Pro running 10.5.8 and on my iMac running 10.6.6. However when I use the same process on my iMac G4 (also running 10.5.8) when I go to add the printer it shows up as it does for the other computers (as HP Laser Jet 3030 Bonjour) but when I select it the wheel spins but the printer is never 'retrieved' - so I can't add it. Any clues - the only difference that I can see is that the two computers that work are Intel Macs but I see in the forums that people appear to be using bonjour printers with PPCs as well. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

    I should add the the AEBS is the older snow cone (b/g).

  • 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?

    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...

  • How do I keep Bonjour IDs separate on 2 Macs that share a common iCloud ID?

    I have two iMacs that share a common iCloud ID so they can exchange contacts, calendars, etc.
    The problem is that when I use Messages, both Macs use the same name since they both have the admin user with the same Apple ID.
    How do I share the same iCloud entry and have separate IDs for Messages?

    HI,
    Nope, it can't be done.
    There can be only one My Card in the Address Book ( Contacts in Mountain Lion).
    The iChat App  (or Messages in Mountain Lion) call this name to all the Buddy lists  at the Name of ID spot top left.  (the Name or Handle drop down)
    For the Bonjour account it "Broadcasts" this name as the Buddy Name in other people's Buddy lists (On the LAN using Bonjour).
    A second Mac User Account with it's own Address Book and then using Fast User Switching is the only way to achive this.
    The other way is to change the Name on the My Card to something that either of you could use such as the Computer Name.
    As 2 of my computers have a My Card that lists "Ralph Johns" I get this in my Bonjour Buddy List when they are all logged in.  The third computer is the G4 and this is part of the My Card Name.
    On my G4 the iMac and the MacBook Pro both show and "Ralph Johns"  (it would help to use a different pic on each I expect.)

  • Local Mac Pro (the brain) & Remote Laptop (the extension) combination to work

    Hi, I have a 17" MacBook Pro that is becoming obsolete. Unfortunately Apple does not sell any longer these. I have been thinking about buying the new Mac Pro t(with OS X 10.9) o use in combination with my old MacBook Pro remotely (when I am not in the same place/local network). The idea is if I am working in a Coffee shop with my 17" MBP and I need to use CPU/GPU intensive apps I will connect to the Mac Pro. After much search I have come to the following info (take a look, it is a looooong doc but you might find it useful) but I would also recommend expert advice (and no, a 15" MBP is not an option. Too small). Thanks.
    OPTION A: BACK TO MY MAC (app in MAC OS)
    =========
    Back to My Mac is one of Apple’s iCloud services. Technically it uses adhoc ipsec vpn tunnels and gives you an DNS name for each mac set up, effectively bypassing the current internal name resolution issue. e.g. server.12345678.members.btmm.icloud.com Services that you run e.g. web and ssh will accessible.
    Use OS X Help for information about how to set up and use Back to My Mac:
        From the Finder, click the Help menu.
        When the Help Center appears, type "Use Back to My Mac" in the search window.
        Choose the Help article titled "Use Back to My Mac."
        On the remote Mac select Wake on Demand to save energy (the device goes to sleep when it is not in use)
    (troubleshooting: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4907 - see also notes below)
    (security tips: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4908)
    (configuration: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-set-back-my-mac-mac-os-x-maver icks-3495116/)
    BTTM only works between OSX computers and a single account. VPN lets you connect most devices and other OSs and many users to single resources. BTMM is essentially a dynamic DNS service. It does not enable sharing or management services at all, and only facilitates the connection to the machine. You will still need to enable various services on your own, and BTMM will not bypass any security features of the system. You can only connect to BTTM from a Mac which is logged into the same iCloud account. For example, if you try to use that BTMM hostname on your ipad, it won't work.
    You can also use File Transfer apps like Transmit. Under Transmit, Bonjour setting, all of Macs are listed as SFTP connections, with the BTTM number followed by .members.bttm.icloud.com. This connection appears to be much faster than BTTM through file sharing or screen sharing and shows all files on that Mac, including normally invisible ones. This does require entering my account name and password.
    OPTION B: MAC OS SERVER & VNC
    =========
    This can be done with built-in Apple software. You need to buy it in the Apple Store.
    -    Firstly you should for security reasons have a VPN server running at your office, this could be on your Mac server. The remote users would then first connect to the VPN server this would then allow them to access the server securely even remotely
    -    Then your remote users must have Macs (this method is only supported by Mac clients)
    -    The remote Macs would use Screen Sharing to connect to the Mac server, since Lion it has been possible for multiple Mac clients to connect to different user accounts at the same time and see a different 'screen' and run different applications
    Note: If you use screen sharing to connect with an account that is not already logged in it will offer the choice of 'Share Display' or 'Log In' the former is like the old-style remote control, the later is like a Terminal Services system. If you connect with an account that is already logged in it will just take you to that accounts session.
    Note: Some applications are not written in a way that would be friendly to running the same copy more than once, also some software licensing woulld mean you would still need to buy multiple copies. If an application checks over the network for the same copy running to enforce licensing you would have a problem. A volume license often helps with that.
    Unfortunately if you're expecting Wake on Demand to work over a VPN, it doesn't. (see below - note on IP)
    Good video to configure OS Server in Mavericks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVfEicYfMTE
    By the way, if you are just interesting in running your server from a Mac Mini instead of a Mac Pro, you can find more information here http://blog.macminicolo.net/post/72706369716/an-hdmi-adapter-for-a-headless-mac- mini
    OPTION C: RDP APPS
    =========
    If you want to use Windows laptops remotely then the above will not work, in which case you will need to buy either Aqua Connect or iRAPP.
    See http://www.aquaconnect.net and http://www.coderebel.com/products/irapp-terminal-server
    The above support using Microsoft Remote Desktop Client to connect and hence are compatible with Windows clients built-in RDC software.
    Both iRAPP and Aqua Connect support standard Microsoft RDP protocol clients and both also have their own proprietary client. RDP is not VNC.
    Saying that I did get the impression both were slower than an equivalent Windows Terminal Server and RDC client, at the time (this was a couple of years ago) I got the impression that things like forcing just 256 colours did not work properly and I also go the impression other RDP optimisations were lacking and this would be at the server end since the client is the same standard Microsoft client.
    See http://www.coderebel.com/support/faq/How-do-I-make-it-faster which recommends using an RDP client instead of their own proprietary Windows only client (which might be based on VNC). The AquaConnect client does not appear to be based on VNC since it supports audio.
    See http://www.aquaconnect.net/aap
    In particular "Aqua Accelerated Protocol provides a 2-1 data savings over VNC (including audio, which VNC does not support).  These savings become even more significant when compared to Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol.  Compared to Microsoft's protocol, AAP provides a 10-1 data savings over RDP.  All of this translates into a remote session that feels and acts like a local desktop and OS."
    By the way I agree RDP is faster than VNC, I also like the fact RDP supports audio (VNC does not). I have suggested to Apple they switch their Screen Sharing from VNC to RDP as this follows the same reasoning as their switching preference from AFP to now SMB2. Maybe others should send Apple the same suggestion.
    Most products use VNC to remote and I've never been able to get good performance from VNC. So I run iRAPP by Code Rebel on my iMac. It is a small RDP server. I then connect via iTeleport which I have on my MBP, iPad, and iPhone. Works very well, but it also quite expensive.
    OTHER OPTIONS:
    ==============
    - Apple Remote Desktop can connect over the internet, but you would have to setup port forwarding and have some sort of name or IP that stays the same. Depending on you internet connection, something like dyndns.com could help. ARD does use the standard VNC port (5900) for the screen sharing parts. There is another port in the 3000 range for the other parts. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Remote_Desktop). You may need to set a free associating IP address like DynDNS and set Port forwarding in your router. Video on how to configure it and basic use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TArMYl1RsUE
    - Apple Screen Sharing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_Sharing) You can drive the cursor and send mouse clicks to the remote computer, and type into its applications. It can be enabled via: System preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing
    - From iOS device, an app like Airlogin can be used (http://www.avatron.com/apps/air-login/) but this app does not have Wake On Lan and it is subscription based (i.e. annual subscription of around 15$)
    - Other non official Apple apps that can be used but again without Wake on Lan functionality: Teamviewer, Logme In,...
    - For use of Terminal via BTMM you can read: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57596207-263/how-to-connect-via-ssh-using-i clouds-back-to-my-mac-service/
    NOTE ON IP:
    ===========
    In order to control another Mac you'll need to go to 'Apple Menu -> System Preferences...' on the Mac you want to control and enable 'Remote Management'.
    In the 'Allow access for' section of 'Remote Mangement' you can leave the default selection of 'All Users', which will allow any account on the controlled Mac to be used to login for remote management or you can select 'Only these users' and define specific accounts that can be used.
    Click 'Options...' to define what remote management actions are allowed. You'll probably only need to select 'Observe' and 'Control'.
    If you're both on the same network then you can do a Command + K from the controller Mac and type vnc://mygirlfriendsmac or vnc://ipaddress to connect to the Mac you want to control.
    Regarding the issue with controlling a Mac on a different network, this is where things can get complicated since there are a lot of variables depending on what network the Mac you want to control is on. This is one possible solution:
    First, you'll need to know if port 5900 is open on the network the Mac to be controlled is on. A lot of firewalls block this port. (You can do a VNC tunnel on port 80, but that's probably beyond the scope of this question.)
    If port 5900 is open then you'll need to know the publicly accessible IP address of the Mac to be controlled. One way to do this is to use http://DynDNS.com.
    This is how DynDNS works:
    You can signup for a free account that allows you to create a DNS entry that you define (ie- mygirlfriendsmac.dyndns-ip.com). You'll then need to install the DynDNS app on the Mac you want to control. This app will send the public IP address to DynDNS every few minutes so that you'll be able to do a Command-K on your Mac and connect to the DNS entry you defined (mygirlfriendsmac.dyndns-ip.com) and you can be assured it will be mapped to the current IP address of the Mac you want to control.
    BACK TO MY MAC TROUBLESHOOTING:
    =================================
    If Back to My Mac is not working as expected, try the troubleshooting steps below, if they apply.
    1       Update all your Macs to OS X Lion v10.7.3 or later (OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later is recommended).
    2       Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu. Open iCloud System Preferences and check that Back to My Mac is enabled. See if any diagnostic messages are provided under the Back to My Mac section to assist you with troubleshooting and resolving any connection issue.
    3       Toggle Back To My Mac off and back on by deselecting and then reselecting Back To My Mac in iCloud System Preferences.
    4       Make sure the computer you are trying to connect to is not sleeping and is set to Wake on Demand. For more information about Wake on Demand, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774.
    5       If you are using an AirPort base station, make sure your firmware is up-to-date (open AirPort Utility 6.0 or later).
    6       Check your network for a multiple NAT setup and reconfigure your network as needed.
    7       Make sure NAT-PMP or UPnP (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1552) is enabled (if you are using an AirPort Extreme Gigabit Ethernet base station, click here for information about AirPort Extreme Gigabit Ethernet and NAT PMP).
    8       Ensure TCP port 5354 and UDP ports 4500 and 5353 are open on your firewall. To learn more about ports used by Apple products, click http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629.
    Also:
    When BTMM stopped working i also noticed that i was having issues connecting with my apple id to machines even if they were on the same local network. I found a way to resolve this and consequently BTMM has started working again for all of my machines. I think this has something to do with how the apple id is assigned to your user account but let me go through the steps i took for this:
    1) Open 'System Preferences'
    2) Click on 'Users & Groups'
    3) Unlock the padlock in the bottom left corner to make changes
    4) Select your user account from the list on the left
    5) Right click on account and select 'Advanced Options'
    6) In the 'Aliases' box at the bottom you SHOULD have two records (your apple id and another beginning with com.apple.idms.appleid) remove these both and click Ok.
    7) In the right hand window on your user account click on 'Change' next to the apple id box.
    8) Delete the apple id associated with the account and click 'Done'.
    9) Now click 'Set' next to the apple id label (where it just said Change a minute ago)
    10) Enter your apple id and password and click ok.
    11) After a few minutes the machine should be available again for remote connection and desktop sharing via BTMM. You can always perform a reboot just to be sure.
    This should take a few seconds to set and once you have then you can verify this has been set correctly by right-clicking on your user account and selecting 'Advanced Options' to see if it has put the two records in the 'Aliases' box at the bottom. Needless to say you need an active internet connection for this as it fetches your associated record from your account and aliases it for you.
    FYI: Back to My Mac status messages explained here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4104
    For Local Networked MACs operating with BTMM:
    If you have noticed that the iMac (for example) was automatically authenticating to the Mini using iCloud/Apple ID, not my local username (being both computers are on the same local area network connected via an ethernet switch). The solution is to disable Back to My Mac on the iMac, delete some of my login credentials from KeyChain and rebooted my iMac. This forced me to re-authenticate to the Mini for local network access. I used my local username/password account and the problem with finder operations and hanging was solved.

    ok so i experimented a little with the hardware and here what i have to the moment:
    1. i thought that the usb kb could be the case for mac os to crash so i disconnected the cable from the KVM and plugged normal apple kb to the mac.
    2. however when i tried switching back to mac, the machine crashed again.
    from what i noticed for the last few days 'working' with this kvm switch was the screen resolution changing while i was switching. meaning the screen flickered for couple of times prior to showing 1280x1024 that was set up in the system. during flickering the resoution became 1024x768. i 've seen it pretty clearly, just it was for half of a second.
    also when powering up both machines, they were starting with 1024x768 and not 1280x1024 as was set up. i had to manually change the screen resolution on both machines (pc and mac) every time after successful start up.
    so by far my understanding is that kvm switch forces monitor for 1024x768 during switches and on start up. it also causes the OSes (win2K and MacOSX) to lose 1280x1024 and accept 1024x768 as if the monitor was changed and couldn't operate at a higher resolution.
    having said that i uploaded this info to kvm mfg (ATEN) and couple more mac forums so that this info may help someone else when ordering a kvm for mac. at the same time i am still open for any thoughts, advices and crazy ideas to get round this bug.

  • When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

    When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem?  My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine.  I shouldn't have to buy a new one.  Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

    I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected?  That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
    How is your network configured?  Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary.  If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
    You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router.  If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation.  The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router.  But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
    Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

  • Snow Leopard Breaks Bonjour Printing (HP Color Laserjet)

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook (newly reformatted) with the newest version of print drivers from HP's website, connected to a HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi, with print sharing enabled and "share this printer over the network checked". It used to work well for Bonjour printing from all my other leopard macs in my house, before I updated to Snow Leopard.
    All of the computers I mention here are fully updated.
    On the other computers....
    The printer shows up in add a printer under Bonjour, but it takes a long time to find the driver. I have tried printing using the "Generic PostScript Printer" driver as well as the HP Color Laserjet cm1312MFP driver, but both get stuck at "Connecting to Printer". After a few minutes of this they peter out and just mark the job as completed.
    This is all while the printer is awake and the host computer is awake.
    Another computer, without the HP Printer solution software installed, but that still comes up with the HP Color Laserjet cm1312 MFP drivers, will say "Connected to printer" then automatically mark the job as on hold. No matter how many times I reset the print queue, on this computer nothing works.
    These computers are all running 10.6.
    I can print directly from the computer that is hosting the bonjour printer without any problems.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Josh,
    First, let me make sure my assumptions are correct. The printer is USB connected to the Mac that has printer sharing turned on, and the other Macs find the shared printer via Bonjour. All the Macs are running Snow Leopard. The computer with the printer connected via USB prints just fine. All of the other computers don't work.
    So, let me ask this. If you open up the Sharing System Preference, and select Printer Sharing, Printer Sharing is turned on, the printer you want to share is listed in the list with a checkmark next to it, and the Users is setup so Everyone Can Print. Also when you open up the Print & Fax System Preference and click on your printer, the "Share this printer on the network" checkbox is on as well.
    Next make sure that all the computer are running the HP Drivers version 2.2 from Apple Software Update (or downloaded from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907]).
    If all of this is true, let me ask if you connect the device to Ethernet (if possible at least temporarily) if all of the computers can find and print to the CM1312? This might help narrow things down.
    Just trying to help.

  • Airprint from iPhone to HP D110 printer via Bonjour and D-Link DIR-655 problem

    I have searched the Dlink, Apple, and HP forums for answers.  Many people have had the problem.  Some have found solutions.  I have tried what I think are all the solutions presented.  However, Airprint works for about 2 minutes on iPhone after restarting the printer, but then goes away.
    I tried setting up an Ad Hoc network on the printer with the iphone and it Airprints fine.  PCs, and the Mac print fine wirelessly.  But using Bonjour in Safari (on Mac or PC) shows the printer however clicking on it makes it disappear.  Using the printer’s ip address opens the printer’s setup menu on Mac and PC.
    Bonjour appears to work for about 2 minutes, then goes away.  Noted that in one Help page on HP site, it said that to connect the printer to a Mac you had to do 2 operations within 2 minutes.  Maybe the printer outputs some Bonjour info for that long, but doesn’t respond to requests from other Bonjour devices?  Or are they being filtered by the router?
    So wireless is working.  Bonjour is working iphone directly to printer.  Problem points to router setup.  All hardware has latest SW/FW.
    Most of the forum postings are from 3 months to 1 year old – no new data.  Anybody have any other ideas to try?

    Set iphone and printer to reserved ip addresses (on router) and DHCP on devices. [did not change the fixed ip addresses for about 15 other wired devices on the router]

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the feedback LilyLC. I too have gone through all of your steps and a host of others. Still with no luck. No problems at all with my Airport Express, but still no way to keep up a connection with my DIR-655 via WIFI N. I tried all of the steps with each firmware version too. I've given up at this point. I want the 2 months of my life back that I spent troubleshooting this mess. At least Apple could acknowledge this and say we are on it, and that it isn't only "in our heads."
    /begin rant/
    I think that Apple needs to do some re-evaluating of their software release schedule/quality control. At this point I would rather wait and have them get it right then put out subpar updates and fall into the downward spiral pattern of "the rest of them". My confidence has been shaken and I've been a mac fan since the beginning. I just want Apple to split off the iPod/Phone/TV etc. into its own division and to get back on track with the Mac line starting now. We need this stuff to work to make a living and this takes a higher priority in my mind than new twiddle apps on the iPhone.
    I do own two iPods and an iPhone but would chuck them in a river to get Leopard working solidly with the majors like Adobe, Extensis, Epson, as well as stable networking, syncing and backups. Apple really has their hands full at this point with a large list of bugs. I really wish them well but can't say I'm in the least bit happy as a consumer at this point. For the first time in a long time I feel sheepish when answering whether or not I'd recommend a Mac, and that hurts me deeply for some reason.
