JetDirect problems

My HP LaserJet 5si would dim the lights, and if I had too much stuff on (which was most of the time), it would blow the breaker. For a while, I would shut off all the monitors, the TV (if on), and the lights, hit print, and shut off the monitor I had been using. That worked most of the time, but sometimes it would still trip. If I had the SGI on, I really couldn't use the printer. Actually, I cheated a bit. The printer is against an interior wall. On the other side of that wall, is an electrical outlet, and another circuit. I simply cut a hole in the wall, and ran a short piece of Romex over to the other outlet, and mounted a new outlet on the printer side of the wall. So, now I have an outlet in my computer room that's on the other circuit - the one from the spare room. Since the spare room isn't packed to the gills with electronics, everything works fine. -Ian
