As for your printer/sleep issue. You need to trigger 'Wake-on-lan'. There's an interesting post on it here:

Although it's an older post but it might get you started

The information on this site worked great... the wake-on-lan program wakes up the mac no problem.... I'm not sure about using IP address as I am pretty sure my address will change from time to time (dynamic allocation)..... but that should be a rare occasion.

Thanks for the link and the information
