I have a IMac and a Brother wireless printer. All of a sudden the computer shuts down when the printer kicks in. This does not happen all the timer, perhaps 1 out of 3 times. Why all of a sudden?

Hello and welcome.

-How is the printer connected?
-Is it a Brother laser or inkjet?
-Does the iMac just power off immediately?
-Are they both connected to the same AC outlet? If so, are there other devices on the same outlet?
