I have an HP 2100TN with a JetDirect 600N card that seems to go to
sleep if the users do not print to it for a while. When they
eventually print a job to it won't print and all I have to do is ping
the IP address of the printer and it starts printing. It just started
doing this when I moved it to an office in a building we just
connnected to our network by way of two 3com wireless lan
building-to-building bridges. The question is, is this a setting in
the printer such as a pwer saving mode that can be turned off(and how
could that be done) or is there something about going across the
wireless connection that makes the printer lose contact with the
server?(all our network printers are configured and shared from a
server at our main plant)

Thanks
