Apple Inc, having provided a nice service for Microsoft Windows users, which allowed them to discover, connect, configure and print to mDNS-enabled network printers, have hideously removed that nice functionality from Bonjour release 2.
As I understand, the Bonjour software v1.0.6 (can still be downloaded here), is replaced by version 2.0 which removes all shortcuts and the functionality, as part of ongoing updates via Apple Software Update utility. Was it the new iTunes that "screwed" Bonjour? Most likely.
Anyway, it was nice but now it's gone.
Evil Apple makes life of Windows' LAN printer users miserable again.
UPDATE:
Those of you who are travelling, or have "flexible" printer environment, get the new and full version here, and be happy again.
