nppowerd will shut off the NeXT printer after X minutes.

I am not sure but I think you start it in /etc/rc.local like this:


if [ -x /usr/local/etc/nppowerd ]; then
     (sleep 5; /usr/local/etc/nppowerd 15) &
     (echo -n ' nppowerd')                                        >/dev/console
else
     (echo ; echo "ERROR: can't find nppowerd!")                  >/dev/console
fi

change '15' to however many minutes you want to wait before shutting the printer off.

make sure you change the path to nppowerd to point to your system 

It will automagically turn back on when it is done...

I did not write this nor take any blame for anything it does
