Replace the PRAM battery as it's the cheapest fix. Well, it was on an iMacDV, $10 at RadioShack. PRAM could be corrupt, so I'd Zap it first but if that doesn't work then replace the battery. PRAM holds Chooser settings among other things so it 'might' be the cause of your printing problems. I'm not very familiar with Networking so I can't speak to that without a warning of "I'm not the one responsible if you're Mac dies" :-) The Chooser in OS 9 also is used for Appleshare and if that's what you're using then the same ass above applies.
