Be honest, do you know how to fix printer problems? Or do you just ignore them because they're such a pain in a$$?

Salesman colleague of mine, years ago, slow day, tidying up some old equipment. ā€œI’ve got thisā€ he announces, bravely lifting a laser printer over his head and manoeuvring it into an attic space above him.

Apparently the toner cartridge wasn’t sealed. A veritable torrent of thick black powder flowed down the front of his neat white shirt and his suit trousers.

I alerted him to this fact, eventually.

Printer problems.
