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...)
