It cycles through a deep sleep state, which does not reset hardware, including WiFi, USB ports and buses, etc. In fact, I have to actually turn off the power switch on my computers to get USB to fully power down. So, printers won't fully reset unless you really and truly get the PC shut down all the way. </font></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><font size="3"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><font size="3">Windows Fast Startup (enabled by default in Power Options) also prevents a full shutdown.
