Netgear PS101 print server - sleeping ?



I have a Netgear PS101 mini print server connected to my HP laser
(parallel).
It's a small plug/box that connects directly to the parallel connector,
and has a RJ45 for an Ethernet cable.
It seems to work fine -
BUT -
the print server does not always seem to respond/spool the print request.
It's like it is sleeping..... dormant, hibernating, etc...
and needs to be smacked a little via the web interface.

Sometimes the print job will spool & print, sometimes not.
It may spool ok to the print server, but then not physically print
until we access the PS101 via the web interface and click "reset".

I've watched the network via a protocol analyzer,
and it is "broadcasting" every 10secs or so..... it is alive...

Any thoughts on the sleeping issue ????
