Howdy. One should not plug large power-draining equipment like a laser printer into a UPS battery box. A. It's not necessary. One can print when power comes back on. B. The primary purpose of the UPS

Barry, I don't mind be corrected, if done with a little courtesy. I did mislabel 10.5 as Lion, and not Leopard. But your reply was not well received. I hate the names Apple uses for the Mac OS. The
