Using Bonjour with Windows 7?

Recently purchased an HP G62-144DX Notebook with Windows 7 pre-installed. I've been trying to print using Bonjour through the airport express to my Canon printer. The airport works with the Mac OS on my iMac and Macbook pro. It usually works with an old Dell laptop that runs Vista Home Premium. However, it does not work on my HP with Windows 7 or my iMac with Windows 7. I have the latest Bonjour installation, which claims to work with Windows 7.
Oddly, when I print, I don't get an error message on my laptop. It's as though the computer sends the printed document off into space. I've tried disabling my Avast Anti-virus, thinking that maybe the print job was being firewalled. I've tried re-running Airport Utility. I've tried re-downloading Bonjour. Basically, I've tried everything that I can think of. Nothing ever prints.
Anyone have a clue how to resolve this?

I've read a lot of discussions on this problem and there was no answer I could find. However I knew that Bonjour uses IP address printing so I looked for where the address was configured. I have TimeCapsule but I think Airport works the same.
Go to Devices and Printers, right click on the Printer (HP, Samsung etc) and select Printer Properties and then select Ports and then highlight and "Configure" the port for the printer from the list. Mine Printer configuration said something like "TimeCapsule.local" for the IP address (strange IP address huh?) so then I set the IP address to 10.0.1.1 which is the address of my TimeCapsule. Eureka, it worked.
Hope this helps.

  • 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...

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

    My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

    What kind of Mac to you have?  This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire.  If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
    ETA:  Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go.  You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

  • Unable to view external webcam content.  I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit.  I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view

    Unable to view external webcam content.  I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit.  I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser.  I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Urgent: Portal access using SSO with Windows NT

    Dear all,
    I'm planning to implement SSO for Portal with Window NT authentication.
    Can anybody explain me the steps to do...
    If the internal users logs in NT domain say..("ABC"). he/she should be authenticated to Portal without giving logon credentials.. automatically they needs to enter into portal.
    I'm using NW'04 SR1(EP6.0 SP9) with AIX 5.2/oracle
    Microsoft ADS(LDAP)
    Pl explain me...
    Appreciated with reward points...
    regards
    PRadeep

    Hi,
    in order to apply windows SSO you will need to install the IIS proxy module in front of your portal, this module knows how to handle users authentication using the NTLM/kerberos features MS ADS supports.
    the specific procedure for implementing it can be found in the documentation/help. i have managed to find it in the EP6 sp2 security guide but i think it is the same for the EP6 SP9 as well. so just go to this link:
    <u><b>https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/d-f/ep 6.0 sp2 security guide.pdf</b></u>
    keep in mind that you will need to be logged on to SDN.

  • IO operations using ActiveX with Windows 8 64bit and IE 11 not working

    We are using ActiveX for downloading file from the server, It works well with Windows 7 and XP but there is issue with Windows 8 and IE 11.It doesn't give any error for downloading files using ActiveX but file not downloaded and even does not generate log
    file for the issues and error.
    We are confused because it doesn't throw any error while log generation or downloading file
    Is there any limitation for ActiveX with Windows 8 for IO operations.
    We are stuck at this point. please help
    Thanks

    Hi,
    check Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons
    find your activeX control in the list, make sure it is enabled and supports both x86 and x64.
    also
    Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
    file>Properties menu to find out which IE Security zone your web page with the activeX maps to.
