Most inkjets on a UPS are fine (for small jobs), lasers no--too much current draw heating up the fuser. I've never printed during a power outage but I could if I really needed to. The odds of that are terribly low though. Them main reason for plugging all my equipment into the UPS is that the MOVs in UPSes are usually much larger and of better quality than those found in surge protector power strips. For those who do not know, an MOV or metal oxide varistor, is the device that sucks up the excess voltage and current that frequently enters lines during a lighting strike. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
