It's not an AFCI breaker, is it? My last house had sensitive AFCI breakers that my laser printer would trip about a quarter of time when warming up.

Yes, my electrician was going to change it for me; but then I plugged my printer into a kill-o-watt and learned that it was pulling 12 amps.

I've been assuming it was current, because if it has the circuit to itself, nothing trips.

(My office only has one circuit, which is dedicated to the room. I could have asked for 20 amps, but it didn't occur to me.)
