Damned arc-fault breakers !

My mom was just trying to print with her laser printer and the breaker shut off !

So we turn it back on. Try to print. And it trips again !

The current is definitely not over 15 amps. It's the arc-fault breaker that's tripping.

As a temporary solution, my dad just put a normal breaker in the panel and we moved the wire from the arc-fault breaker to the normal breaker. (We had bought that breaker for the UV lamp and the water softener; It's a double, we'll use a leg for my mom's office and the other for the UV lamp and water softener)

Next week, we will be talking with the electrician when he will be here to do the finishing touches of the electrical.
