The Brother laser printers might draw more power on the initial surge than other laser printers, I don't really know. But all laser printers have a big power spike when they first fire up so if your circuit can't handle the Brother, it might not be able to handle other lasers either.
The other thing is a Kill A Watt probably won't accurately read the surge because it's too brief. It has to last at least a second or so for the Kill A Watt to show a solid number.
