[K12OSN] Ongoing printing problems k12ltsp V8

[bear2bar netscape net]

Hi,

Help with this is greatly appreciated.

1) OS K12ltsp V8 (fresh install not an upgrade)
2) Server P-IV 2.67 GHz
  2 Gb mem
3) Printer HP Laserjet 2200 with an allocated static IP address
3) In LTS.conf printer is defined

Problem: printer randomly goes off-line, be it after printing or being idle

Action: created a sudo account for system admin, (not root) to issue a 
cups up cmd - no result as the cmd is ignored unless issued by "root"
  created cron jobs for both root and admin to turn on the printer 
every 1 minuter, althought the cron jobs seem to run the printer still 
goes off-line.

HELP !!!!!!!!

thks in advance
