Turn on Printer

Is there away to turn on the printer, when you click on print, without having to manually turn on the printer. Then have printer turn off, after you have finished printing. I know you can do this with a MAC, but not sure if you can do this with windows. Thank you

    DSMSTEVE,

     

    I also use the Power Save feature PudgyOne mentionned on my Dell AIO 962 Printer.  Most printers now have this feature.  However, I would like to note that I have a service call scheduled tomorrow morning on an HP 3550 color laser that, for some, as-yet inexplicable reason, will only print one page when it comes out of sleep mode.  It worked fine with Windows XP, but exhibited this little quirk when it was connected to a new Vista Home Premium system. We installed HP's latest Vista driver for the 3550.

    I have a Dell Photo AIO Printer 964 and I leave my printer turned on all the time. I use the power save mode and it goes to the mode after 10 minutes of non use.
