Nightware ($109.95) turns off your printer during periods of inactivity and automatically restores power to it when needed. When Nightware restores power to the printer upon receipt of data, its momentary poll-and-store feature prevents an application time-out while the printer warms up. When the printer is ready, Nightware reconnects it to the host to resume printing.
