	I've mentioned this before (without anyone contradicting me so I'm
	gaining confidence in this opinion...if I get away with saying it
	again without contradiction it's gotta be absolute truth:^) but I
	believe 2.1 turns the laser printer off automatically after printing.
	My machine came with 2.1 and, a few seconds after printing, it goes
	silent again.  I take this silence as assent, er, as powerlessness,
	but there doesn't appear to be any light or a voice that announces
	that THIS PRINTER IS POWERED OFF and I never saw a next laser on a
	previous version of the OS so I DON'T REALLY KNOW if what I mean by 
	power off is what YOU mean by power off.
