nppower on
nppower off

You probably have to be root to use it, since it isn't in the standard user's
path.

    Is there a way to power off the printer and power it on later with
    some sort of command?

check out the 'nppower' command.  i 'nppower off' my printer when i
don't expect to use it for a while, and it's automatically powered
