Tomas, I had that problem with a previous printer. But with this latest the manual states that with the power turned off the printer loses information about the printing history so it cleans the printheads every time it is turned on. So I never power it off. With power on but in standby it uses very little energy and the ink does not get drained. (This is for an HP4630.) -Denis
