Publisher's Description
From Apple: Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.
Bonjour for Windows includes a plugin to discover advertised HTTP servers using Internet Explorer. Click the Bonjour icon in the Internet Explorer toolbar to enable Bonjour browsing. If you have Bonjour devices on your local network with embedded HTTP (Web) servers, they will appear in the list.
The Bonjour Printer Wizard is also included and allows Windows computers to print to Bonjour networked printers, including USB shared printers connected to the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express Base Stations. Since Apple first launched Bonjour in 2002, every major maker of network printers has adopted Bonjour. With the Bonjour Printer Wizard, computers using Windows can also experience the benefits of effortlessly discovering and printing to these Bonjour printers.

"You have to understand what this is for"
Version: Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6
Pros
Does what it is supposed to. But you have to understand, it is a generic networking discovery and automatic communication protocol.
Cons
None I can think of. Except misunderstanding what it is.
Summary
It is not an "AirPrint to any printer from your iOS device" solution. Certainly AirPrint could be done over Bonjour, but you are better off seeing http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1293865 for a discussion on how to set it up, or what I did was configure AirPrint using shared printers on an Ubuntu Linux box. With a little Google searching, and some tech knowhow, you can make it happen. iTunes uses Bonjour for network-related communication like Airplay to Apple TV, or network synch with iPhone/iPod/iPad.
For those of you having trouble with iTunes and who have hosed their installs trying to mess around with it but don't have the knowhow to fix it, Windows has a System Restore feature that allows you to restore back to a date when it was last working. It's pretty weak compared to Mac Time Machine, but it works fairly well. Restore your system to before you messed it up, and try iTunes install again. -
"Apple needs to help us solve this issue."
Version: Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6
Pros
None-will not install on my Windows XP.
Cons
Will not install to help fix my problem.
Summary
All I want to do is update iTunes and Quicktime. I have not been able to do this for 3 months either by the auto or manual method. The process cannot find Bonjure and .msi install files? That's the only reason I tried to install this version of Bonjour.
I cannot reload Bonjour, nor Itunes nor Quicktime updates. My dialog box messages still says "cannot find .msi install files, please browse for new location". Yes it is a PC nightmare, with no workarounds! I even tried the Cleaner program recommended by many with the same issue. Now my Music Library is gone. -

"Do not even think about using this!"
Version: Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6
Pros
None............
Cons
Went to uninstall, only partially uninstalled! Went to launch Itunes, does not launch because of removing Bonjour! Tried to remove Itunes and reload both programs. Will not let you uninstall Itunes or reload it either, (nor can you update)! This is on a PC! Went to web for help (take a look} hundreds are having this issue with no solutions ! Nightmare issue
Summary
They need to fix this issue and quick! Their loss in music sales alone, is compounding daily!!
Still cannot reload bonjour, nor Itunes nor Quicktime updates. Says cannot find .msi install files, please browse for new location. Nightmare, with no workarounds! Thanks for taking out Itunes, you led me right to Spotify! You are now no longer missed!
Updated on Jan 26, 2012
Updated on Apr 4, 2012For months and months now Itunes will not reload nor work, Bonjour will not reload nor work. So pleased they have addressed this issue NOT ....... This is absolutely the worst program I have ever encountered! Makes Norton look like a genius! Thank you for all the support Bonjour! -

"Did not work in solving my print from iPad problem."
Version: Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6
Pros
Not applicable. I wanted to use this in conjunction with airprint and some other software to enable printing to shared printers on Windows from my iPad. Did not work.
Cons
Didn't solve my need.
Summary
Will not solve print from iPad problem. May be worthwhile for other things.

"So far so good!"
Version: Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6
Pros
Easy to install and use.
Cons
None. (so far)
Summary
Needed to print from my Windows laptop to one of the printers attached to my Mac downstairs. Downloaded and installed this in no time. Found the computer and the printer. Have been printing with out an issue ever since.

"Perfect for home network"
Version: Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6
Pros
Fast download and set-up. Dead simple to configure.
Cons
So far, nothing.
Summary
Our home computer has always been a Mac. We use an Airport Express for wireless printing. Now that I spend more time at home, I needed a simple way to share the printer. Bonjour is it. It, quite literally, took 3 minutes to set-up and print my first document. Couldn't be happier.
Thank you, CNET, for having this available online so I didn't have to dig out my Apple disc and plug a drive into my netbook. -
"Nothing but problems"
Version: Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6
Pros
NOTHING good about it.
Cons
Doesn't work most of the time.
Summary
Terrible! Have to have it to use wireless printer for my laptop. Nothing but problems.
Have to call technical help twice a month to get printer to work. -
"I don't get it"
Version: Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6
Pros
I can't find any pros
Cons
I've been to Apple website to try and figure out how this works in order to print from my IPhone to my wifi printer. The wizard recognizes my printer from my computer but nothing shows up on my IPhone.
Summary
Can anymore offer any suggestions on how to send documents from my Iphone to my printer?
