# 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. Other shared resources, such as music playlists shared by people on nearby computers, can also announce their availability in the same way.

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

Open Safari

If there’s a Bonjour printer available on your network, you might see it listed as a Bonjour website. You can open the website to configure the printer. (Some Bonjour websites and devices require a password.)

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