Re: Printer Disconnects Over Night

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

There is not a power tab in the parallel port's properties. Any other
ideas?

Thanks Bob

I had a small LAN (workgroup) set up with WIN98 and just replaced the
computers with new XP Home computers. Connected to computer #1 is a
HP7110 parallel connection. It is shared and works fine all day.

My problem is this, when I come in the next day the printer can not be
accessed from any computer including computer #1 which it is parallel
connected to.

Any ideas?

Look at the parallel port's properties, Power tab and disable the option
to "Allow Windows to turn off this device to save power". If it's a USB
device, do the same thing, but under USB Controllers.
