About Bonjour

Bonjour connects your computer to nearby printers and servers, shared music and photos, iChat users, and more.

For example, a website may use Bonjour to “announce” its existence to your local network. Your computer detects the announcement and gives you access to the website. It works the same way for other shared resources such as music playlists shared by people on nearby computers.

To see available Bonjour websites, click the open-book icon in the bookmarks bar, and then select Bonjour in the Collections column.

If you have a printer available using Bonjour, you might see it listed as a Bonjour website. You can open the website to configure the printer.

Note: Some Bonjour websites and devices require a password.

For more information about Bonjour, go to the Bonjour webpage.
