There would be no lpadmin, etc setting unless you have setup the print
queue using Sharp/Canon software, if such a thing even exists.

If you have setup the printq with the included-with-Solaris netstandard
interface file, you could try to lengthen the timeout.  From the lpadmin
man page:

"The value  of  option  timeout  sets  the  seed  value for
backoff time when the printer  is  busy.  The  default
value  for  the  timeout  option  is  10  seconds."

so try lpadmin -p printqname -o timeout=20

and see if that helps.

But if the printer is looking for some special signal to "wakeup: from
powersave and not just taking more than 10 seconds to do so, you will
definately have to look into sharp/canon software.

This is what I think is going on. I was hoping someone had used these type of
printer before.  Oh well....
