Printer a liability? To some extent, among other things (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inter alia

'among other things' is the definition.
('inter alia' can be a synonym of 'among other things')

'printer a liability? to some extent' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'INTER ALIA' is hidden in the letters of 'printer a liability'.

(Other definitions for inter alia that I've seen before include "Midst other things" , "among others" , "amongst other things" , "amongst others" , "Among other things, in Latin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
