Case of the Mondays

So I might not have any TPS reports to do, but definitely had a case of the Mondays. Remember in Office Space when Peter, Michael Bolton and Samir went to town on that printer? I honestly think I would have given anything to be able to beat my printer today. Check out 1, of the 2, error messages I was getting:



I know it's hard to read, so I'll translate: "PAPER JAM". As you can clearly see, there is NO PAPER in the tray below. I got the error message, removed all the paper, checked to make sure that there wasn't actually a jam, and pressed "OK".

Fail.

The error message kept repeating. And when I finally thought I had fixed it from continuously pressing OK, and even turning off the printer multiple times, a new error message appeared. "Cartridge Jam"

Are you serious???

I placed a help desk ticket in with IT, and of course the printer decided to work (only after I said I was going to kill it.) But to my surprise, about 45 minutes later, the same error messages appeared. I can only hope IT will be able to fix it tomorrow, or someday soon.... However, I think I much rather take a bat to it.

Anyone want in?

  1. I want to know what it is about office printers/copiers not working!! The one near me is always jamming and/or out of paper. The part that drives me nuts is people will try to print 100 pages without checking the paper status first! Jerks. Since the stupid thing beeps and beeps and beeps at a constant, high pitch, I like to go over and press Cancel, thus stopping the print job and ending the beeping. My favorite is when people realize only 50 of the 100 pages print and come back and stare at the printer as if that will help. Idiots!

Erin, if you every see this, you'll have to tell me who the culprits are so I can shut off their badge for a day ;)Oh, and there are also the people who print their larger jobs to my printer... guess who hid all the toner in their bottom desk drawer?!?!
