Leave printer on or off?

Leave printer on or off?

I strongly suspect that you are quite correct.  On the other hand, 
how many folks in this group would be likely to be working as a phone

Reading many lists, the consensus seems to be that, in recent models, 
leave the printer ON when using it with fair frequency, OFF when not doing so.
