Vista x64 Printer - Trying to keep connection alive
I have a Vista home premium x64 desktop system. After extended period of time, it seems my connection to the Canon Multi Function goes to sleep. I checked the USB connection under the device manager and sleep mode is not enabled. If I unplug the connection, wait a few seconds and reconnect, it works. The Canon Multi Function driver is for Vista x64. Also, when I attempt to print, it indicates the system is off-line. Sometimes when I uncheck off line, it prints, other times it would still not print. Any sugggestions or hope? Thank you. -- Shotsy

Vista x64 Printer - Trying to keep connection alive
This is just a "shot in the dark." Would your printer driver by chance have
a "sleep" function built in? I ask this because my monitor has a sleep feature separate from a screen saver or hibernation of the computer. "Shotsy" wrote in message ...

Yes, the Multi Function does have a sleep mode, but it wakes up once a signal is detected for print or scan job. Ironically, my laptop with XP Pro works fine with the printer/scanner, it's the Vista desktop that is having a problem. Thank you for the suggestion. -- Shotsy

Could be the usb port is set to allow computer to put it to bed to save
energy. Use Device manager to set this option "Shotsy" wrote in message ... Yes, the Multi Function does have a sleep mode, but it wakes up once a signal is detected for print or scan job.
