I just got an OfficeJet 4215 and I'm trying this hint not because I have noted any trouble but just as a prophylactic. I will be trying this for multiple users.

I did NOT put the scripts in rc.sleep and rc.wakeup, because I noticed that if multiple users are logged in via Fast User Switching, then each gets a copy of HP Communications.app, running as their own respective user id. It would be more of a pain to reproduce that at the system level than I want, so i just put the given scripts in all 3 user accounts. However this fails, as Sleepwatcher apparently only runs for the currently active user.

So far printing works anyway. I'll see what else happens.

I have authored a new hint on how to work with Fast User Switching. I have not encountered any sleep problems, so I can't speak to those.
