Unplug the monochrome monitor???  Remember, the mono gets its power from the  
cube/slab.  Tis not a good thing to disconnect things from a NeXT that is  
powered up (unless it is in the monitor mode).  There has already been a  
discussion on the pros and cons of disconnecting SCSI devices when the NeXT is  
powered up....

This is fixed in release 3.0.  The printer does not come on until you are  
ready to print except for the occasional random powerup...
