But no, there was no extra surge protector on it. I may do something about that. The rest of the stuff is on a UPS.

That's not what I said. I said, why don't you have the Laser Printer on a surge strip or the (surge only) portion of a UPS.....I'm well aware of the power usage of a Laser Printer.
The part-time UPS units are junk. APC are best. And my UPS I use is actually big enough to not fry if a laser printer were attached to it,  But I don't have it connected that way.
