Is the printer going into sleep mode?
Or is the computer that is connected to it going into sleep mode?

If it is the printer, you should be able to change the setting on the console of the printer itself. And the computer can be taken off sleepmode as well.

Hello Madhu,
I want to know which printer you are using.
If it is HP 6L than i would recommend you to send it to service center.It seems that there are some problem with online button. Second thing you have to chk the length of printer cable it shd. be 1.5 M max. Third thing is come to the properties of printer in the port setting disable bidirectional thing .
regards
Abhinav
