That's the kind of reason why I don't like using printer's own network
facilities and prefer to connect them over USB to a local GNU/Linux
server which can then share them over CUPS&SANE.

It also has the side benefit that sleeping while connected via USB tends
to consume significantly less power than sleeping while connected via the
wifi network (can't remember what the numbers look like for ethernet).
The difference can be sufficient to power a BananaPi ;-)
