I am using my XP home edition computer as a print server. Works great until
the computer goes to sleep. I have tried PRESENTATION and ALWAYS ON but it
still goes into standby or asleep. How do i keep the computer awake, so i
don't have to go up to the computer and and wake it up so that i can print
from a remote computer?

Hi
The Standby behavior is controlled by the Power Options in the Control
Panel.
If you are not familiar with the issue type Power Options into Windows Help.
