I am runing a mac with OS 8.6.
There are two printers that were installed and working up until last week.
Now when I print I get an error message that says the printer can't be found.

I tried to go to the chooser, but it is not installed.

I have limited MAC experience. Where can I find the printers and how to set one up?

I believe the printers that are installed are using TCP/IP to print.
The computer has internet access.

Any help would be appricated.

Thank you.

Do you mean the chooser is not installed or that the printer icons do not appear in the chooser? If the printer icons do not appear in the chooser do the follopwing:(1) open the control panel folder (usually in the Apple menu, but if not it is in the "system folder") by double clicking it and then double click the extension manager control panel. Look at the table that comes up and make sure that the boxes in front of your printer drivers are checked. you can also (2) Double click the hard drive to open it. Go to the system folder and double click the system folder to open it. In the system folder double click the "extension" folder and search the folder for your printer drivers( for example SW or Epson or HP). If you don't find the printer drivers open the "extensions disabled folder" and check to see if the drivers are in this folder. If they are drag them to the "extension" folder. The drivers should now appear in the chooser when you restart the computer.
