samba - May 2005 - Printer sleep mode problem

Dear group,

I have a Samsung ML-1740 laser printer connected to an OpenBSD 3.5 server using
a USB connection. The printer is accessed from
Windows PCs through Samba 3.0.14a and CUPS (using raw printer driver). 

The problem I am having is that after my printer goes into power save mode (a
desired feature, I only print 2-3 times a week) I
always have to send two print jobs; one to "wake" up the printer and
then the "real" print job.

This might be an issue with CUPS or the printer itself, but I was hoping someone
on this list have seen a similar problem. Any
ideas?

This wouldn't necessarily be a Samba problem.  If it's a pure printer 
problem and not how Samba handles wake up calls, you might do better at 
http://www.linuxprinting.org/forums.cgi .  I'd recommend, in particular, 
the linuxprinting.general or the linuxprinting.samsung.general mailing 
lists.  I've always gotten good help there with my print problems.

Out of the argument with ourselves comes poetry, out of the argument with 
others comes politics.
