Printers exist to spite you. They are chaotic machines.
I thought it was just me. Finding out as I progress in IT, no. They’re all cunts.
And if the printers are listening you’re not a cunt. (Please keep working)
Edit: they fucking heard. The admin sharp gave me so much trouble today. Work on one machine not on another. Generic error. Adding via IP or wifi or wired. Im sorry printers I didn’t mean it. Y r u this way
When I started in Desktop Support my super power was equipment suddenly working when I showed up. I used to joke that it was because they were afraid of me, and even printers stopped acting up eventually.
I like to think that they could sense that I wouldn’t hesitate to go all Office Space on them.
A hypothesis on this phenomenon I’ve seen before is that the person with the problem doesn’t want to seem stupid when you are physically present. So they are more careful, read dialog boxes, actually do the power cycle, etc.
The first printer that made me audibly yell “what the fuck” was a Konica Minolta. Not because it was actually malfunctioning, but because of the absolute clusterfuck that is the settings page on its web-server.
They very clearly want you to pay them for either management software or maintenance.
