I just bought an Arlec wireless power socket set with remote control from 
Bunnings for $30.  It has three plug-in modules for controlling three 
different loads, and the wireless (RF) remote has a reasonable range.  It 
isn't TCP/IP, but it is cheap.  I suggest that you plug in a desk lamp, or 
similar, into the same socket as the printer, so you can see if the power 
is on or not.

You *could* make it IP (or computer) controlled by hooking up a couple of 
transistors to the remote control unit and drive them from the parallel 
port (yes, this is my plan, haven't got round to it yet...)
