Most of the work I do is in commercial kitchens and I do it on a daily basis, hence my scepticism to all those guys who say it is 'obviously dangerous' yet don't give a single good reason.

Having to label it is a good reason to avoid as it will look strange if done domestic.

Needaspark, care to explain why it would be dangerous? I must admit I didn't do my first year in college, so there might be something fundamental I have overlooked.

On a side point, I am thinking about that computer issue. I was on the understanding that a PC power-supply also rectified the signal hence removing the phasing. I acknowledge that this might not happen in the printer, but would be irrelevant as one side no longer has AC. Am I overlooking anything here?
 
Peter,
SMPSU's are not perfect beasts.
There may be "phasing" "let through".
Also there is a requirement to keep 400V apart and label if it is not expected etc. in the regs.
There would be regulatory & practical reasons for not allowing this scenario.
 
This is one of the other times I miss being in a lab. A full range of electronic test gear would allow me to check every possibility very quickly.
