Laser printer is known to cause a surge event too. Normally there's a limited amount of surge protection available and routine surge would gradually used up the pool.

However, surge protection may not be as important. I heard an argument that it is basically snake oil (because an actual surge would normally be much more powerful and beyond a typical capacity they have, and some causes fire.)
