My point, sort of, is that usually you don't care if a printer job is interuppted, since you can just start the job again later when power is resumed. What you don't want is to lose the data which means you protect the computer with the UPS and the monitor and that's about it. You only need to protect enough of the equipment so that you can safely shut down and not lose data. But if you have brownout problems, and you want to be sure that jobs will continue and finish, then you're right, you need a unit that will support all of the equipment attached.
Cheers,
