This scene (and the movie in general) strikes a nerve with any person who has had to work with printers frequently. This is something that most of us have felt the urge to do at many moments.
I've actually dealt with TPS reports, so I know the pain.
Load letter size paper in the appropriate paper cassette.
the issue is usually inevitably the user. I repair printers. User error is nearly 100% of the issues
Why does it say "paper jam" when there is no paper jam?! I swear to God, one of these days, I'm going to kick this piece of shit out the window!
Then will come along and "repair" it so it can malfunction in a day or two again.
I'd argue that the issue is usually overuse and faulty configuration.
But the point is, that it's tedious little shit like this that can really get under the skin of your typical wage-slave. We have a dozen other duties to attend to, we click "print" to get an important document, and then the printer fucks it up- in this moment, under the stress, the issue doesn't matter- the object of hatred is the malfunctioning printer. And it must SUFFER, Crazy.
If it says paper jam and there is not a piece of paper stuck in the loop the issue usually is a little piece of paper tore off a page and is stuck in front of one of the paper jam sensors
I dunno brah I usually slap the side of my monitor and the computer speeds up.
What do you guys actually do all day if I can just theaten my monitor and my PC gets scared and stops being a bitch?
Damn near 30 years later, and we frequently plot doing an "office space" on our modern Xerox. You son of a bitch, you've got plenty of 8.5"x11" paper in tray 4, WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO PRINT UNLESS WE FILL TRAY 1 WITH THE SAME SHIT PAPER??
Oh, and if you scan a particular pattern of dots, your printer snitches and the secret service comes after your ass.
