161.0. "lps40 reboots" by FOOT::TSANG (Revenge of the killer tomatoe) Mon Aug 01 1988 17:55

    please refrain from switching of the LPS40 laser printer,
    as this is not a very good idea.
    
        thanks
            Wai.

	You can't help it ;-)
	However reasons are
	1. The lps40  likes to take its time rebooting,
	2. The lps40 needs Decnet to be up and running,
	3. Finally before it can start printing, it needs to download
	   the printing software and fonts from the host machine.

	All this may take up to � an hour (at most)

	Danish.
