Could anybody please offer any advice for the following:

I have recently bought a parallel port flatbed scanner into which I now
have to plug my printer cable for a Canon BJC-4200.

My problem is that because I do not have to use the scanner very often I
do not have it plugged in all the time (Unfortunately no on/off button),
this then causes disruption when I print anything because the printer
only prints half a page at a time. The printer will now only work
correctly when the scanner is on.

Apart from remembering to plug in the scanner when I want to print
anything, what are my options to overcome this?
