I just bought a Samsung multifunction laser printer, model SCX-4116. Problem: When I plug it in and turn it on, the lights in the room would flicker and the UPS would beep every 12 seconds or so. The problem goes away when I turn off the printer. My old printer, an HP Laserjet 3330 did not cause anything like this.
Notes: The printer is plugged into a different outlet vs. the UPS, but in the same room. My guess is the printer is sucking up a lot of power, but I'm n00bish on this subject.
So--what's the problem? What's the cure?
edit: It was a Laserjet I used to have, not an Officejet.
