What will happen to the UPS? A lot of discharge cycles?

I think the idea is that you have other stuff on the UPS too, and you'd prefer that stuff stay powered during an outage, but if your printer is on the UPS, it'll chew up all the power.
It's more that consumer-grade UPSes will all trip due to overload as soon as you hit print.
