You can always play with the sensitivity level of the UPS - but anything more than that will give you that constand beeping sound we all hate to hear. I'm afraid that you can only find yourself another UPS which will support more or buy another like the one you have and spread the load a bit. Keep in mind that printers draw a LOT of power, so if you have a printer plugged into it my suggestion would be to plug the printer directly into a wall jack with a surpressor as you aren't really trying to save information on your printer like you would be on your computer.

If your UPS is full meaning that you have used up all available outlets, then you can use a simple power tap bar to add more outlets. The critical number you do not want to exceed is the total amperage available through the UPS. Keep in mind though that the larger the total load the lesser the time the battery will support these devices. Also many UPS's marketed for consumers will have outlets that are not battery protected but protected against surges. Be sure that you do not exceed the amperage for the individual types of protection provided.

You should only connect your computer, LCD monitor and low current peripherals to a UPS
DO NOT, connect a printer or CRT style monitor.
Configure the UPS software to close down your system after around 5 minutes of power interruption.
You can use a 4-way extension lead to add more peripherals.
Give the UPS plenty of ventilation.

I would think you are probably overloading the one outlet it is plugged into. I wouldn't advise it. Get a different UPS and plug into a different outlet

You can certainly hook more power bars there, but more means greater fire hazard.

on the same one might be difficult.
