[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: Accessing Printers

[Bruce T. <Bla...@Ea...>]

Printer Sharing worked for Jeff and myself. My PowerBook G4 appears to enter
deep sleep because I enabled sharing on my desktop system only. It
(QuickSilver dual 1GHz) never enters deep sleep. I was under the impression
that it was due to the Initio BlueNote SCSI card failure to support deep
sleep, so now there are at least two things that inhibit deep sleep for me.
Perhaps it is reasonable. After all, you are declaring your system to be a
File/Print server so maybe it should never sleep so as to be always vigilant
for work to do. If the server was in deep sleep, it would take a long time
to get it back awake to service some request.
