You didn't have your laser printer on at least some form of surge strip? I run all my computer equipment through a nice APC UPS unit, it provides high quality surge protection to stuff like my laser printer.....and battery backup/surge protection to the computer/networking/DSL equipment. Best $90 I've ever spent.

$400 for a printer? I use a HP 4050TN that I got for free. Its a beast! $1500 when new....it has networking, twin trays (1000 sheet capacity), front load....17ppm.....
