Default My ideas

First of all if , you are tripping your breaker...If it is ARC fault..you have a defective printer....It probably isn't a load problem..most printers don't draw that much current. I agree with others that say,,try another outlet that isn't on your bedroom,kitchen,bathroom....they don't require arc fault breakers by code. AND rightfully so. Even if they are on an ARC fault and it failed I would be concerned about the printer...Thats what the ARC fault is for....It is doing its job and securing your saftey.. They can go bad and there are some out there right now that are defective.. Good Luck
