Back in your house build period arc fault breakers were new and just sucked. Lots of issues. It’s your house if it was me I would swap it for a normal 15amp breaker. Save the breaker and leave it in the panel at the bottom in case you sell it. Buy the exact Eaton breaker minus arc fault. Find an electrical friend or electrician who can help you change it. Home Depot stocks it or City Electric in Denver on Business Hwy 16.

Lots of good advice.
Replace the breaker with another 15A breaker. They're not that expensive.
Newer arc fault beakers are much better now if you want to stick with that.
If it isn't something you want to mess with right now, for some reason, run an extension cord to another receptacle that you know works until you can get to it.

If you decide to hire it out, swap out all the old arc fault breakers to new arc fault breakers, the whole project will fit in the minimum charge.
It looks like that is a Brother printer. Apparently Brother has released firmware updates for certain laser printers that exhibit issues when using an AFCI: https://help.brother-usa.com/app/an...ripped-when-the-brother-machine-is-powered-on
