Bonjour print wizard says “no bonjour printers are available”
Have Mac networked to 2 PC’s. One has win XP, the other win 7 home prem (hereafter referred to as pc2).The printer is attached to the Mac. I can print from the Mac and the XP pc -but not from the win 7 pc (pc 2). Bonjour is installed on both the pc’s. Whenever i open the bonjour print wizard on pc 2, it says “no bonjour printers are available”
THINGS I HAVE CHECKED OR DONE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE:
- system pref. > printers& scanners - verified that the Mac is set up for sharing. (see screen shots 1-3 )
- Verified that the network is intact and functioning normally - i can xfer files from one to the other.
- On pc 2 - opened devices & printers - it shows my printer as the default printer
- Attempted to delet and reinstall the printer - when trying to reinstall the printer, got
error msg “windows could not connect to the printer”
- checked firewall issue - under “allowed programs and features, there was a tic in the
bonjour service and a tic in the box for home/work network . I understand there is a
UDP 5353 that needs to be open but i did not know how to access this port to verify
that it was open
My observations are that pc 2 cannot “see” the printer installed on the other side of the mac. The Mac can see it as does the xp pc. I’m thinking its a firewall issue but don’t know how to go any further. Any and all help appreciated.
