	Okay, sort of. It appears that Ubuntu 7.04 cannot wake a sleeping
printer. Also, Xsane cannot find the scanner once it goes to sleep. I've
tried manually turning the printer off and then back on, logging off and
back on, and rebooting. Rebooting did it, but only until the printer
goes back to sleep??!! I switched printers, but that had no effect. I
tried my opensuse box and both worked fine. The new laptop finally got
here so opensuse it is!
