You might be able to wake it up with something like true > /dev/unlpt0 Or maybe use usbconfig to wake it up, in various ways. Some might make it do the ink-wasting powerup, though. usbconfig -d ugen1.2 resume usbconfig -d ugen1.2 power_on usbconfig -d ugen1.2 reset Don't know if that would work with the unlpt device directly. HP says that printer is not supported with HPLIP, but not why.
