8.15 powering down NeXTprinter during bootup, printer still works

power down, printer printer, printer down

Type the following to your rc.local.

\#turn off NeXT laser printer. fbshow -B -I "Powering off NeXTprinter" -z 95 if [ -f /usr/etc/nppower ]; then sleep 3 /usr/etc/nppower off (echo 'powering off NeXTprinter') >/dev/console fi

This works fine... the printer powers down immediately, and is available for any app which wants it.
