Finally looked up why the lights flicker when the laser printer fires up. I mean, I knew the essential reason, I just wanted confirmation. Turns out that laser printers draw a LOT of power, so much so that experts recommend that they be installed on their own dedicated 20 amp circuits (!!!), as they induce a brownout condition for other devices on the same circuit.
