OS X Mavericks breaks Bonjour printing

Since upgrading to Mavericks none of my machines can reliably print on a wireless Canon MX885
I have followed all steps including removing MAC address filtering and making the network SID broadcast installing all the newest drivers but after few days the printer will go missing despite being seen by the TimeCapsule router as connected.
Only solution is to switch off and on the printer to be able to operate again
This is very frustrating and a clear issue with mdns responder implementation that bonjour relies on for getting devices list in the network
Apple can you get this sorted please?

It turns out the issue is with the time capsule
I have put in place an AESB 4th generation and everything works
No issues with mavericks

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.

After installing OS X Server Bonjour printer doesn't show up

I just recently installed OS X Server 4.0.3. Before I installed it I could see the printer as a Bonjour printer from the Mac Pro and the 4 other Macs on the network. After installing OS X Server on the Mac Pro it cannot see the Bonjour printer. All of the other Macs still can.
The printer was listed in the Printers & Scanners configuration, but since it wasn't working I deleted it to try and set it up again. But now it doesn't show up the in the Printers and Scanners configuration?
Does this have anything to do with OS X Server? Is a port being blocked?
Why isn't the printer even showing up? I have tried connecting the printer to the DSL modem and to the Airport. Neither worked. The other Macs have not lost access.
I've tried resetting the printer, made sure the drivers are up to date. Currently I have to use the Bonjour printing because OKI Data has not fixed TCP/IP (hardwired) printing with Yosemite.
Thanks,
David.

Now that you've turned off File Vault try resetting the printer system: OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system - Apple.
Also I wouldn't hurt to Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and disk. Reboot normally afterward.

Bonjour Printer Services not working on Windows 7 anymore

I have my HP Deskjet F4450 connected via USB on my IMAC running 10.6.8.
I have it shared with everybody can print settings and can add it to both my Windows 7 laptops using Bonjour Printer Services 2.0.2 (it sees it and I can add it)
But when I print from Windows 7 it says that the test page is spooling but nothing happens, Nothing prints.
I have looked at a bunch of help files, but nothing has worked for me.
Did some Windows 7 Updates break the Bonjour printer Services application?
Thanks for any help.
Update: It worked about a month ago I know from each Windows laptop.
It prints fine from my MacBook.

I'm having the same issue, but with a Time Capsule. My MBA can print fine to it, but my Windows 7 desktop cannot. It sees the printer, and things queue up but never come out. Worked fine about a month ago but stopped.

Mavericks won't print to Xerox Phaser 6300.

Mavericks has my printer in the list of available devices, but tells me that the printer is not connected and won't print. Xerox only has updates to Mountain Line in their driver downloads.
Anyone else having a similar problem?

Update:
Checked the printer Settings to confirm the Printer's address. When I use the Setting to check the Wi-Fi Settings, I get a message saying "This computer appears to have a working Internet connection, but can't find Phaser 6300DN (00L00:aa:95:47:31).printer._tcp.local. You may have typed the address incorrectly.
The address is 00:00:aa:95:47:31 so I don't know where all the parenthetical data is coming from.
The network setting seems to be at the heart of the issue, but I'm not sure how to resolve them.

Bonjour printer not showing up in Printer List

I am having trouble adding a bonjour printer (HP PSC 1610). The printer is not showing up in the list of printers under System Preferences > Print & Fax. I was able to add the printer by clicking on the "+" sign. It found the bonjour printer and I clicked "Add." Everything seemed fine, but the printer is not showing up in the list of available printers.
When I'm in Printer Setup Utility, the Printer shows up when I click View > Show Printer List. I just can't select it when I'm in an application and trying to print.
I can print to the printer from my G5 which still has OS 10.3.9.
MacBook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I think the reason you haven't got responses is that no one has experience with that. Here are some generic troubleshooting steps to try, one at a time:
Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.

Multiple duplicate prints via apple airport and bonjour printer driver on HP Color Laserjet 1600

Please advise if this request will incur any costs as I have exhausted all self-help resources and articles in your knowledge base. Nothing applies to my issue. I used to be able to use this printer via USB or wireless network using apple airport base station and bonjour printer driver. When my company ugraded to Windows 7, USB seems to work ok and wireless under same setup works too, but each page prints out many duplicates >40 duplicates when in wireless state. I am also trying to print from my IPAD and this does not seem to work at all. If you tell me this printer will not perform, please just be honest and let me know. I don't mind buying another printer if needed but don't want to incur more high level cartridge costs (bought many due to duplicate issue) and could afford the new printer instead. Deciding between brother or hp depending on usable feedback here. Using Lenovo T410 for all that matters...Thank you, Marc

Unfortunately, without knowing the model of the printer I wont be able to let you know too much information on the issue or how to resolve it. Also, when you upgrade your OS you often have to update the programs you are using, I would recommend uninstalling the printer and using the software available on http://goo.gl/7R6HT.
Let me know Marc!

Bonjour printer on Windows XP's stops working after reboot

Hello!
We have a AirPort extreme with an HP LaserJet 1010 connected to it. AirPort Extreme also serves as a gateway and DHCP server for the LAN.
Installing the printer on the local machines running Windows XP thru Bonjour works fine and all the documents are printed correctly. The printer is being installed as a single default printer on the system.
However, printer stops working after Windows XP machines are rebooted (the next morning). The installed printer keeps accumulating documents in queue and not spooling them to the printer. Issue could only be resolved by adding a new printer (which also works fine).
It seems not to be a connectivity problem as XP machines access the Internet thru the AirPort Extreme without any problem. Bonjour printer setup wizard also instantly sees the printer and is able to install it correctly. Mac's in the same network (iBook G3 and PowerBook G4 with Tiger) are not affected by the issue.
Any ideas on how the situation could be corrected?
- Baglan

Did anyone find a solution to this.
I have a HP Laserjet 1020 attached to my Airport. Using the Bonjour program on my Windows XP computer it found the printer attached, and added it to my printers. When I print all seems ok - it appears in the printer queue, then disappears as though its printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s. Can Mavericks be uninstalled?

Can Mavericks be uninstalled? Don't know if the discussion title pulled in all of my problem, so here it is again. Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s.
And no, I was a bad boy and had not been Time Machining. Guess I will now.
So, can Mavericks be uninstalled?

Enabling Firewall breaks Bonjour name resolution (and other problems)

Hi there, I thought I had a simple setup but trying to enable VPN & Firewall has shown me there are some issues I need help with:
Setup: MacOS X Server 10.5.8 on MacPro
- Machine is Mobile Account Server for 5 other machines connected to network
- DHCP is obtained from Router in 10.1.10.x range. Server hardcodes its IP in that range (outside of DHCP addressable range)
- Services running are: AFP, Open Directory, SMB, Software Update
- All client workstations connect to server using "servername.local"
This has all been working fine. However over the weekend I tried enabling VPN as we have a public IP address we can use. VPN works fine except:
a) Plugging an additional ethernet cable into port 2, and configuring that port to have the external "public" IP information caused the "license in use issue" that has been reported here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9958588&tstart=0) so I had to use the solution of duplicating the existing ethernet config and entering the additional external IP to run both off the same port.
b) I can't get L2TP working, but I can get P2PP. Seems like other people are having similar issues (http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=9704644)
But anyway, so I have P2PP VPN working and without a firewall previous functionality hasn't been impacted. Now of course, I'd be silly to leave this machine with the Firewall turned off as it is now a sitting duck out on the inter-tubes.
I thus enabled the Firewall service with these settings:
- Any service: Allow only traffic from "any" to these ports: (I enabled the ports for P2PP and L2TP)
- 10-net: Allow all traffic from "10-net"
This I assume would restrict access from the external interface, but let all internal subnet communication be unrestricted (like it was before I enabled the firewall). However this doesn't seem to be the case. I noticed that simple non-VPN connections to AFP service took a long time to happen using "afp://servername.local", several minutes before the authentication dialog appeared.
Furthermore if I brought up "Software Update" on a managed client set to pull from "servername.local:8088", the connection would fail.
If I disabled the firewall service, the slowdown and local Software Update would work fine.
But if I try setting: "Allow all traffic from 'any'" on the Firewall (which should be almost like turning it of) it doesn't have a positive effect and slowdown of name resolution and failure to connect to local software update still occurred.
Is there something in the Firewall being enabled that breaks Bonjour name resolution? Anyway to enable the Firewall and still keep Bonjour .local name resolution? Does this problem have anything to do with issue (a) we have to work-around?
Thanks for any recommendations,
Matt

I have an iPad 1. I downloaded PrintCentral Pro and also the Bonjour Printer Wizard as prompted. I still can not print. What am I missing? I am new to this...Please help. Thank you!

Depending on what you are trying to print you may have to print from within the app. For example, to print an email or web page you have to open what you want to print from print central pro. If your printer is not a supported printer there is another app from the same developer that allows you to print from your iPad to your printer via a wired pc. You may want to drop them an email. They have pretty good customer service and respond to emails very quickly.

Error -9672 when trying to add HP F380 as bonjour printer

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but it appears the HP F380 is not compatible with the newest Airport Extreme (with all the updates). After connecting it to the Airport the Printer Setup Utility can see the printer as a bonjour printer (good) but when I go to add it as a printer it fails with a -9672 error (bad). In the console the following error message is logged.
Error -9672, badly formatted ticket XML - Bad XMLStart:
Bad XMLEnd
HP says 'their printers may work, but the configuration is unsupported'. So I'm posting here in the hopes Apple will try and work around the issue in an Airport update.

I too had the same problem with my HP F380 Printer. There is a way to get it to print over AE, but it will no scan. Here are the steps, hope it helps.
1. Install Footmatic-Rip-3.34.2.15.ppc.dmg, espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg, hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg (all found at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs)
4. Go to Add printer.
5. Under "Print Using:" Select HP, then select HP DeskJet F300 Footmatic/hpijs (recommended).
6. Click Add
That's it.
Be sure to install the .dmg(s) in the order listed above, no big deal but hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg won't install without the other two.

Can't find Bonjour printer from Windows XP machine over wireless

I have a hard-wired windows PC, a wireless Macbook Pro, and a wireless Windows PC (XP) all on the network together. All have Internet access. Only the hard-wired PC and the wireless Mac have access to the shared disk and printer hanging off the AEBS.
I installed the "Bonjour" software found here on Apple's site, but when I run the utility on the wireless windows PC, it tells me there are no Bonjour printers available.
It connects (and authenticates via WPA) no problem, so I know there is network connectivity. Why won't it see the shared printer that the other machines can see?
Is the "Bonjour Printer Wizard" the right thing to be using?
Thanks

Instead of using Bonjour (which may be blocked by having ultra-aggressive firewall software installed on your PC) try using the manual printer setup method detailed at:

Bonjour Print Services Install: DLL could not be run

Hi guys,
When trying to install Bonjour Print Services on a newly installed copy of Win7, I am getting the following error
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
I have tried searching Google for an answer but unfortunately it was in vain. Since this setup worked without a problem a few days ago before I refreshed my Win7 install (and I have updated all software since the refresh), I am very confused and do not know what to do. Please advise! Thanks in advance.

Update - I have now tried a bit more of the Apple tech. article No. 304405. Having already downloaded a WIndows Update for VBScript, I then tried the fix to register it - this failed too: msg. "Loadlibrary(%filename%)failed GetError returned 0X00000485".
I have also learnt about the Log - find your install logs in TEMP - filename format iTunesSetupAAA.log. Herebelow the last command that then fell into error:
"Executing: "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\msiexec.exe" /i "c:\windows\TEMP\IXP137.TMP\iTunes.msi"
Returned: 1603
Any thoguhts?
Regards,
Rich
