I have the non-wifi MFC 7820N (scanner, fax, printer, N=Network, just wired, no Wifi) and it uses 6W on stand-by and I think ~1000W when it starts to print, but only for a second or two, I don't remember exactly. I usually turn it OFF at night and leave it off until I use it the next time (sometimes it stays OFF for 2-3 days). not a power hog IMHO.
I would not worry much about it. You DO NOT put a laser printer on a UPC circuit. Just surge protector.
