If the printer is not in the
Chooser, use the following troubleshooting procedure.
-
Check that the Configuration Page shows a printer name, a node number, and a zone.
-
If there is no node number, verify that the printer is properly cabled to the network. Test the cable segment by plugging in a new cable segment or using the cable segment of a printer that is in the
Chooser.
-
If your network uses zones, and there is no zone name on the Configuration Page, or if the Configuration Page shows the wrong zone, see
Changing the printer's EtherTalk/TokenTalk zone (optional).
NOTE
The printer cannot create a zone; it must already exist.

-
If the Configuration Page shows the correct printer name, node number, and zone, and the printer is still not visible in the
Chooser, check the following items:
-
If there is a Novell NetWare server on the network, verify that the NetWare server has been configured for Phase 2 routing and addressing.
-
If there is a Windows NT server on the network, verify that the printer has not been captured by a Windows NT machine.
-
If the printer continually reboots when connected to the network, it is possible that a router is broadcasting a zone of
*, which is an invalid zone.
-
If using QuickDraw GX, the GX drivers must be installed. If you don't use QuickDraw GX, disable the QuickDraw GX, QuickDraw Helper, and ColorSync extensions.
