You want an auto transformer. In this sort of power they are
usualy rated in watts (or AV), so you need a 1kW one. It is going to
be big and heavy! Not many places sell ones that big, and because of
the weight you may want to buy it in the US.
I believe that RS do such items.
Mind you - a printer that uses 1KW is a mighty beast in itself!
