I am monitoring my buildings printers, and last night i got an alert that one of them went into sleep mode.
How do i disable that? i only want to be notified if they go offline.

If the alerts was for a warning state, you disable alerts for that service for warning states. Otherwise, you might need a more robust plugin for monitoring the printer. It looks like check_hpjd doesn't come with many options.
Here are some other options on exchange:
