Question Printer - On or Off

[TonyMan]

Years ago I was told to always leave printers on. I was told that, at least Epson printers will occasionally cycle through the print head cleaning cycle. This would prevent the ink getting dried out in an inkjet printer. I leave my PC and printer on all the time while my wife shuts hers down. We both have Epson inkjet printers. Am I being concerned and does it make a difference whether you leave the printer on or off?

Thanks

That depends if it has auto cleaning feature or not but I think that it's waste of energy because they go thru head cleaning cycle every time they are turned on or you could print a test page every week or so.
