Don't plug a laser printer into one. IF you need to print during a power outage (do you really) most inkjet printers would be okay. Just make sure it's figured into your power calculations. The thing to remember in plugging things into UPS is do you need them powered during a power failure. This also depends on whether you just want the UPS to do a controlled shutdown or to work through the outage. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
