I'm using that nifty nppower script that somebody put on the
archives some time ago to turn the printer off every 15 or so
minutes if the queue is empty.  It works nicely, but...

Under 2.0 any request to the printer (lpr or Print... from any
app) would automagically turn on the printer if it was found
that it was off.  Under 3.0 I find that when the printer is
off, it won't come on automagically, rather I have to launch
PrintManager and then make it Private to turn it on.

So the question is: Is there any way to get the printer to behave
like it did under 2.0, so that I don't have to launch PrintManager
all the time?

Thanks in advance -- please email; post optionally
