Yeah, my Konica Minolta PagePro 1350w (also a budget laser) does the same thing. The first time I ran it, it killed my UPS and shut down the computer that was on it. So I gave it it's own dedicated outlet and it worked fine, although it makes the lights flicker, which is annoying. I only turn it on when I actually need it.
Staples has the Konica on sale like every other week for about $100. It's not as pretty, but the print quality is better. It does great black and white graphics; photos look MUCH better on the Konica than the Samsung. However, the Samsung isn't quite as loud, especially while actually printing, and it doesn't have the weird burnt toner smell that fills the room. Plus the Samsung looks cooler, my model is glossy white like an iBook
