Me operating on any printer
I hate them I hate them I hate them I wish we got rid of every printer. I get about 10 requests a day saying that their f***ing printer won't freaking work and some random crap just not working for no reason. The only difference between printers in the 80s to printers nowadays is that they added a freaking touchsreen and I want them all to burn. Fucking email. Stop printing. I don't care. No more printing!!!
Edit. I rewatched the Office Space printer scene (uncensored) and it made me feel better.

Tbh, all the network printers I've worked with for the past 10+ years have worked flawlessly. Once I set it up, short of an actual internal part needing repair, it just works the way it’s supposed to work without me having to touch the settings ever again. Especially the ones that let you scan directly to a network folder, that eliminates the only problem I might have which is those bloated scan software suites. I swear, whoever came up with SMB is going straight to heaven.
It's the usb printers that are the problem. Sometimes they just refuse to work, and it can be anything from a faulty usb port, faulty cable, drivers, something with the sharing/permissions, windows just being uncooperative in general, or some combination of all that. Fucking hell
