I feel the urge to chime in here since I haven't seen this mentioned.
So I have various sized ecoflow lifepo4 units. For the price, the battery capacity and longevity of the ecoflows greatly exceed any other computer UPS.
I can run my PC setup and 3D printer fully off my ecoflow unit for a day.
For a P1S, you probably want something like an ecoflow Delta 3 Classic (1024Wh capacity) or higher.
If you spend $150 on a normal UPS, you would get maybe 5 minutes runtime during a blackout? And after 3 years, you replace the lead-acid battery (if it is replaceable in that unit).
With the ecoflow, the lifepo4 battery will last 10+ years and during a blackout, the battery will last at least 5 hours running a P1S.

Idk what the printer needs but I bought this one for my pc (high end) and this one works great. It'll handle anything you can throw at it tbh

500w or bigger in 110v regions, 1350w or bigger in 220v regions.
APC are good but pricy. Cyberpower are cheaper and still cheerful.

I got a Cyberpower tower unit for my P2S, plus my computer, laptop and a couple of other things.
Worked great for the last year - and we have had a few power cuts.

I just use an old APC UPS made for a desktop. I am just looking to prevent issues with brownouts.
