[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1452179, member: 24160"] The issue is that all the newer printers go to sleep automatically after, typically, 30 minutes of inactivity. You can thank the conservationists. :Angry-Tongue: Then, some of them refuse to wake up when sent a print job depending on what app is sending the print job. I've not found a way to overcome this issue. I have printers at work that do this with Windows machines - so not really anything to do with Macs in particular - and it is quite annoying. Our $5,000 copier, most of us have gotten into the habit of pushing a button on it every time we walk by so that it's ready to go when we are. If you're sitting next to the printer, press a button on it to wake it prior to sending your print job - best I can suggest. If the Gutenprint drivers work to fix it with yours, post back and let us know. edit: and if your issue is immediately after the first print job it can't be found - the above would not be related to your issue.
