yes, of course.
so the question is: would a print server consume less power?
I assume either it is not on all the time - perhaps hibernates? -, or
one can turn it on and off without damaging it? (I don't want to be
switching the NAS on and off alot.)
F.
folks,
hoping to drink from the font of your wisdom.
I have a NAS through which I can pipe printing via cups. it works fine
but I wonder if it wouldn't save electricity to get a dedicated print
server and only use the NAS when I am doing serious backups.
btw my problem with kpowersave not showing configuration options was
solved (sort of) by restarting /usr/sbin/hald. long for a cleaner
solution. that's a different topic.
what about NAS vs print servers?
F.
Anything that consumes power when you do not use it is a waste of
some kind, at least of money.
