We have 5 HP Color LaserJet 3600 Printers. All are connected through our LAN to our dedicated print server, Win2003R2. They work wonderfully except when they go to sleep. Then we cannot wake them up. Have tried several different drivers, moving them off hubs to direct LAN connections, resetting the Idle Timeout to the highest setting, pinging constantly to try and keep them up and running. We can find no way to have these printers wakeup after they have gone to sleep. Naturally one sits outside the CIO's office and drives him and us nuts. After the printers go to sleep, we have to manually reboot them to wake them up again so they can print. Is there a way around this? &nbsp;Help!!!!! Cold in Colorado

HP Color LaserJet 3600 Printer goes to sleep and never wakes up

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
