Eh I never minded. I preferred printer problems. Fixing the default printing source made me cool. Downloading a driver or pointing a user to the right network printer made me a hero. Replacing a roller or a fuser so the printer stopped jamming elevated me to legendary. Much more relaxing then fixing someone’s janky SQL “formula” because their “excel is broken.”
Looking at printers is how I got into tech maintenance
I still sport my old Think Geek T-Shirt: ‘No I Will Not Fix Your Computer’ to family functions.
The IT guy plight is real.
“Haha that shirt is funny. Anyway I have this brand new 7 year old HP laptop and suddenly it’s all sluggish and when I try to open another chrome tab it freezes for a few minutes.”
He looks like he works in IT.
Shoot
First me then the printer
Printer first. Let the guy die with some sense of satisfaction. What are we? Monsters?
