Deskjet D1460 fail to print if left idle

[Banger]

If my D1460 is left idle overnight, when I come to print first thing the cartridge shoots across to the right hand side when a print is sent from my PC and the power light starts blinking. The PC says the printer is having communication problems. If I press the power button the printer initialises and then prints the document I sent.

If I print a lot of documents the printer is fine, just when the printer is left idle for about 4 hours or overnight this problem occurs. I have printed a self test and everything seems fine. Why is the printer behaving like this on first print?

Well I have managed to print a self test page and this indicates the last error code as 405d0303. Can anyone tell me what this means?

Problem solved I think. Took delivery of D1560 today and it works fine. Just need to test to see if it comes out of power save correctly.
