I just had a look at a transformer (I think this is what you're referring to when you said 'stabiliser')and on the side it reads "AC-converter 220V to 110V 50HZ to 60Hz Up to 300W" So these gizmos work then ? I thought that being made with fairly delicate electronics the printers may be tempramental under these conditions ?
