Yes, the printer stays off when the usb cable is disconnected. When I reconnect the cable, about one second later the printer starts up again. Drat, one easy fix dead :o) Does your printer have a config option on its panel to tell it to respond to power from the USB cable? That my last guess apart from a problem USB cable/ port.
This was covered with another test: it doesn't wake up with a different Linux release. Thus it is some software intentionally powering it up, not the hardware. Nor is it the basic operating system, because before installing the printer drivers it did not wake up. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
