I didn't see any smiley faces on this one so I'm not sure how to read
your reply. I hope you are only kidding.

If not, there is a much better way. You can power down the printer with
the /NextAdmin/PrinterTester program. Just turn the printer off and the
next time you go to print, it will automatically turn on (and stay on.)
I always leave PrinterTester running and will shut the printer down whenever
I don't have any plans on printing something out.
