That wasn't the point - when you initially plug everything in and switch on the
power, the UPS complains - and doesn't stop. The printer just takes too heavy a
startup load. The same would happen after an outage.
I just moved the printer to a normal socket. I can live without a printer when
everything comes back, even if it means having to sort out a part-printed sheet
of paper.
