Use Bonjour

Bonjour allows the discovery and use of AirPrint devices in a multicast DNS environment. Bonjour requires Multicast DNS Registration enablement.

To expand the service discovery in the local subnet with services available in a wider network domain, you can use Wide Area Bonjour. Wide Area Bonjour removes multicast DNS local network restrictions by using DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) information.

Wide Area Bonjour requires:

• Multicast DNS Registration enablement

• A verified host name and domain name

1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Setup.

2. In the Protocol area, for Bonjour, click Edit.
   
   Note: Bonjour Printer Name always displays the device name.
   
   

3. In the Bonjour Settings area, for Multicast DNS Registration, click Edit. At the IP page, for Multicast DNS Registration, select Enabled, then click Apply. 
   
   Note: When multicast DNS is enabled, Bonjour is enabled by default.
   
   

4. To change the device name, in the Bonjour Settings area, for Device Name, click Edit.

5. If needed, configure Wide Area Bonjour settings in the Wide Area Bonjour for AirPrint Settings area.

   1. To view the verified host name and domain name, for Verified Host and Domain Names, click View.

   2. To download the DNS-SD record data file, for Manual Wide Area Bonjour (DNS-SD record data), click Download. Save the dns-sd.txt file to a folder on your computer.
