I'm not totally sure on this one, but where printers are involved I 
think most UPS units only ground and stabilize the voltage for a 
printer. It should still fix your problem, but don't expect to be 
printing if the power goes out -- some units have specific plugs for 
printer/faxes that do not connect to the internal battery.
