[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1896355, member: 112842"] Ah, the age-old question: How much do I pay my electric utility for having things powered on all the time vs. just plugged in and at-the-ready, vs. unplugging when not in use? Thus, is the cost of leaving the printer on less than, about the same, or more than the cost of the ink saved? And then there's the question of the impact on the environment... So, what I do, and I suspect most people do, is what is most convenient. That is, I leave devices plugged in, 'cause it would be a pain to unplug them when not in use. However, I do tend to power on to use, off when done, reboot in the morning, shut down for the night. That's not so inconvenient for me. And, I don't consider, even for a second, what I might do instead to save a little money. We're not talking big bucks here. [/QUOTE]
