Hi all,

I have a Samsung CLP-310 Laser printer, used at times with my
desktop computer using XP Home.

I switch the printer on but keep forgetting to turn it off again!

Is there any way of adding a programme to automatically switch the
printer
on when I want to print a document, then after a set time turn it off
if not
used again.

It should drop into power save mode after a set time and will wake up
again when you start sending data to it again. Standby power is quoted
as less than 10W which is about as good as you're going to get.

When I was looking at colour laser printers a few years ago, one of the
things I checked was standby power. I can't remember which printer it
was, just that it was a typical home use, networkable one, but I
remember being shocked by one having a standby power of 120W !

phew Dell 1320C (4W) & OKI B410 (7W) in the office, I didn't check . .
