Standby Status (Sleep Mode)

[Guest LenC]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I generally do not turn off my computer (XP SP3) at night - I put it into

standby mode and it fires up very quickly in the morning to exactly where I

left it the night before - with one exception. Frequently, I am unable to

print after coming out of standby mode. The print job is in the printer queue

and the printer is active and online when I check its status in control panel.

 

If I reboot the computer, the jobs start printing automatically as soon as

bootup completes.

 

This isn't a big deal - but I'm just curious if anyone knows why this

happens and how to restart printer without rebooting computer.

 

Thanks,

Len

USB Printer? Open Device Manager, open the properties on each USB Root

Hub, click the Power tab, and deselect "Allow the computer to turn off

this device to save power".

Joe -

 

Yes, it was a USB printer - and your response fixed it. Thank you - never

would have thought of that!
