Networked Printer Problems
This troubleshooting table deals with an iMac that cannot print to an attached, known-
good 
networked printer.
Possible Cause Possible Fix
Bad network connections. Check the network connections.
Wrong version of system 
software is installed.
Verify that you have the correct version of Mac OS. If you 
are unsure, reinstall the system software using the 
original CD that shipped with the iMac unit.
Chooser is set incorrectly. Open the Chooser and verify that you have the correct 
printer and printer driver selected.
System, network, or 
printer software is cor-
rupted.
Perform a clean install of the system software (you must 
use the system software CD that came with the iMac in 
order to get the correct version of Mac OS with the 
appropriate iMac enablers) and/or the network and 
printer software.
General network problems. Refer to the “Network Problems” troubleshooting table 
earlier in this chapter.
