Get a grip on it. The huge waste of power you are talking about is 5 watts .

I don't know about your 2880, but the Service Manual for the 38xx series says this:

• 25 watts Operating
• 5.0 watts Standby Mode
• 0.3 watts Turned Off

The Service Manual for the 48xx series says:

• Less than 59W Operating
• Less than 5W Standby Mode
• Less than 1W Turned Off

Both manuals say it takes 15 minutes of idle time to shift into Standby Mode.

If it hasn't occurred to you yet, 5 Watts is minuscule compared to dozens of thing you needlessly run in your home every single day. Just the startup surge when the compressor in your refrigerator starts is greater. Do you turn off the fridge each night because nobody is going to open the door? How about fans that circulate heat in your house? Or circulation pumps for baseboard heat? Do you turn off you Wifi server when it isn't being used? Do you use 15 watt nightlights? How about hall lights? The list goes on and on and on... and printers in standby mode are pretty much right at the bottom.

Jules, you live in a place that has a high technology meter that can show little fluctutations in electrical power use in your home almost instantly and do you think your government that installed those wants you to leave electrical appliances ON? If you leave your printers on 24/7 just because you think that is going to prevent clogging or problems then you should be ashamed of yourselves.Think of the environmental costs..if everyone does that...the CO2 in the atmosphere. Even Google is adding CO2 to the atmosphere. Wake up and use your brains.
