SleepWatcher doesn't recognise printing
Authored by: postglock on May 18, '06 03:49:06AM
Great hint, been having this problem with my girlfriend's eMac, which just didn't want to sleep on idle. Tried unplugging alll USB devices, making sure sharing was off, creating a new user, everything!

The only problem is that SleepWatcher will force sleep when printing. Just wondering if anyone had a tip to stop this. My current workaround is to run Jiggler when printing. This works okay, if a bit clunky, although it would be even better if Jiggler allowed you to activate itself by process as opposed to application. Of course, if there was a way to make SleepWatcher recognise printing as a non-idle process it would be even better!
