User Break Things So We Have Something To Do

1

I work in a school district going from school to school doing all sorts of calls, from computers to printers even projectors. Today I got a call from one of my schools saying “The printer in the office keeps printing multiples of everything!” so of couse I typically assume that the person is typing in more than 1+ when it asks how many copies do you want to print of this file. So before I even sit down to a computer and take a look, just for giggles I look at the printer and print out the configuration page it starts spewing out page after page of the same thing. I hit cancel as fast as I can. I unplug the printer, reseat the memory. Plug it back in, do another configuration test page print and it prints multiples. I check printer configuration and it’s set to print 32,000 copies. Yes that’s right, thirty two thousand copies. When I ask if anyone has touched any settings on the printer I get a response “Yea it was acting funny so all of us were trying to fix it the other day”

  1. At least they did admit that they had fiddled with the printer. My users are factory-set to always respond “Nooo, we haven’t touched aaanything!!!” 😉
