I've had my Minolta Magicolor 2300DL for a while now but it has just started blowing the fuse when it powers up. Its on a 15 amp circuit breaker. I used to have 3 computers/monitors running on the same circuit with the printer. Since this started I've shut down 2 of the 3 but powering up the printer still blows the fuse.

Do I just need to move the printer? Or is something starting to go wrong?

If you are popping circuit breakers in your home from turning on a printer, Then there is something woefully wrong there. Most likely a short in the printers powersupply or power cord. I would stop using that thing immediately!!
Do I just need to move the printer?
Yes..Either to the trash can or the repair shop.
