I seem to recall a means of simulating that reboot claimed necessary to detect printer - if it was not turned On, during boot. Kinda a 'lukewarm boot'?
Anyone know the trick?
Note also that.. sometimes.. I Can just turn it on and it will be detected; usual nondeterministic Doze behavior. It's 98-Lite and Canon BJC-1000; so far an utterly reliable $50 printer [3 years ago!] but then, I don't print a whole lot of stuff, prolly compared to most users.
(Yank the 3-color pod and use a Black 'BC-02' and refiller: pretty cheap supplies for an ink-jet, too.. So much for my unopened spare, still in closet. Sometimes ya Win.)
