Why won the KODAK DCP 9000 show up in my Macintosh chooser as an Appletalk/Ethernet Device when I am using 10Base2 (thinnet) or 10BaseT (twisted pair) cable?
Make sure that your Macintosh is set to use “Ethertalk” in the “Networking” control panel. If “Networking” shows up in the control panel then you are set up in Apple Classic Networking. If you do not have a “Networking” option in your control panel look for “AppleTalk”. If you are using Macintosh System Software 7.5.3 or newer then it can be set to a newer networking standard for Macintoshknown as Open Transport which uses the “AppleTalk” selection in the control panel. If the ethernet cable being used is 10base2 (thinnet) check that a “T” connector is attached to the KODAK DCP 9000. If the KODAK DCP 9000 is the last device to be hooked to the network use a”terminator cap” on one end of the “T” connector. In other words do not connect thinnet cable directlyto the BNC connector on back of the KODAK DCP 9000 or it will not be properly terminated. If the printer does not show up in the MAC chooser after 60 seconds, or 3 minutes if powering on the unit, and selecting the DCP 9000 LaserWrit
