Is there any way of remotely powering-up an Epson WF-4630 printer? Even

sending it a "wake up" signal over the network?

If there is a way to do what you are asking, it is probably covered in
the owner's manual. But the obvious answer is to just leave the printer
turned on all the time.

I have a combination inkjet printer and scanner, as well as a Laser
printer accessible via WiFi. They are left on all the time, which is
handy when I have company that wants to print.

I certainly haven't found anything in the owner's manual, which is why I
was asking here.

It's so seldom that I need to print anything on that printer -- which is
located in a different room from the laser printer that we use most of
the time, and which is now powered via a WiFi-controlled outlet, so
other people can turn it on when they want to print, rather than having
to leave their desk twice, once to turn the printer on and once to
collect their printouts -- that I was hoping to avoid having it switched
on the whole time and using power unnecessarily.
