Hey guys i have got Canon LBP2900B printer , when I print anything, that for minutes after the fact, the lights in my house continue to flicker. I tried using the power socket of other rooms as well but the result is same. What can be the problem. Should i call the Canon guys or is it normal?

You should call your electrician. Looks like a case of very bad/substandard wiring. Printers- or any electric/electronic devices connected doesn't cause that. I hope you're not overcrowding a socket with multiple extension coards+ multi socket adapter.

No, i tried using the printer to a single socket with no other devices connected, but same result happens. I have airconditioners, LED tv's in my house but they never cause such behavior. It is the first time such thing has happened. I will call the Canon guys and then if needed the electrician.

its problem of voltage when you use printer voltage distrubes in my opinion my should call electricity guy cz printer wont take that much power.
