Printer Share: Prints when Server is Asleep (6/96)
If an Apple serial or SCSI printer (such as the Personal LaserWriter SC or the StyleWriter series) is being shared with Printer Share from a Macintosh that is in Energy Saver "Sleep" mode, will the printer still print a job sent from another Macintosh computer on the network?
Yes. Although the monitor remains dark on the Macintosh that is sharing the printer, the processor and hard drive become active and the job prints properly.
