Turn Printer & Monitor Off When Turning Computer Off

LFC5Times · 2009-09-04 19:57:21

Is it possible when I lick Start - Turn Off - Turn Off that while the computer itself turns off that the printer and monitor can turn off also. At present both would stay on and have to be switched off individually. The computer is a Dell computer, the monitor is a HannsG and the printer a HP. Thanks

This isn't exactly possible with a standard setup though I suppose it would be possible to use a relay to power the screen and printer which would power off with the computer and hence disconnect both the screen and printer from the power supply.

You can get extension leads that turn off all the sockets when the device connected to the master socket is powered off. It's designed to do exactly what you described. They sell them in Argos if I remember correctly.
