    I have a 1000 watt power inverter and run my laptop computer from it. I purchased a HP 7450 printer used and I need to know if I can run the printer without blowing a fuse? Any advise appreciated!

    Yes the printer might draw 60 watts.

    Almost all inverters these days come with a thingy that shuts off the inverter before it blows a fuse.

    The main things to watch out for when running more than one are things that create heat such as toasters, kettles, etc. A printer is nothing.

    As long is it is an inkjet printer. A laser printer draws a lot (can be 1000 watts or more).
