Re: [Samba] Samba's Printer Going Off-Line (after a Win98 Machine speaks to it)

Sorry, I just noticed that you said 5L, I was thinking of the larger ones with a LCD on the front. It does have a power save mode that kicks in instantly. Have you tried reinstalling the drivers or checking for newer ones? You might try using an old LaserJet driver that is compatible with the printer. A laserjet II or III driver might work.

It sounds like a power management problem on the printer. Have you tried disabling power save. I think that model has one.

Hi James,

Thank you for responding so quickly.

I have not seen any power management option on any of the
printer-related dialogs. The closest I can find to anything remotely
like a "put printer in powersave mode" is found in win.ini under
[PrinterPorts]:

// Read PrinterPorts from win.ini.Returned string should be of the // form "driver,port,timeout,timeout", such as "winspool,LPT1:,15,45".

But that may be in reference to timing out as when the printer does
not respond or some other possible error condition:
