... Printer Pranks

So yesterday I had to spend about 10 minutes changing a part on the public printer - including having an archaeological dig in the supplies cupboard to actually find the correct part - only to have the screen come up afterwards showing something like this:

Oh and I need this other part changed too. So head on back to the supplies cupboard and dig through the mound of boxes in the dim light and find it where you stacked it away because you wouldn't need more printer parts for months.

Another ten minutes later I finally make it back into the workroom only to find that AntagonisticAl has taken inspiration from the machine out the front and broken the staff printer by fiendishly sending a print job containing Yellow to the printer. After digging through the supplies cupboard I find and change the toner and then the staff machine screen shows something like this:

Oh and I need this other part changed too. So head on back to the supplies cupboard and dig through the mound of boxes in the dim light and find that you don't actually have a spare one of it and need to order it and install the standby printer on most of the staff machines so they can print - and everyone prints all the time these days.

Apart from being astounded at how much text they can fit on the screen I was ready to throttle the technicians who decided it was not a good idea to tell you about all the parts that need changing at the same time.

And people wonder why I don't get along with marketing officers.
