I'm not currently using a 4000 with FreeBSD, but have them at work. I
wouldn't mind betting that they have a connection timeout - it may be
possible to disable this from the front panel or via (yech!) the Windows
support utils. Depending on your lpd configuration, it may be trying to
keep the connection open permanently, and when the connection is lost not
recovering.
Its also possible that the power saving features may be changing the
dynamics, but I wouldn't have thought so....
