I can’t tell you how many times I receive “screenshots” like the following. I tell them how to use Gadwin PrintScreen (the app we use on all of our desktops here) to paste into an email – or heck, even alt+prtscr and paste, but noooo, I continue to get screenshots like the following – which, ironically does involve the use of PrintScreen…
So, they used PrintScreen, then printed, then scanned, then emailed this to the helpdesk.
Something similar happens where I work…
We have a public website where you can add your picture, and because not all our users use a digital camera or have a scanner, they have the option to mail or fax us a printed picture so we can scan it for them.
Some of them print their digital pictures so they can fax them to us. ๐
Ugh, I hate it when they do that.
The worst is when they print an e-mail and give it to you.ย I mean, couldn’t you have just forwarded it to me?
Actually, there is worse…
At my ex-job, my collegue used to send me an e-mail, and then print it to come to my desk and bring it to me ๐ (and no, we didn’t really write any notes or anything useful on the paper copy)
Funniest part: In her e-mail signature she used to have the “Do you really need to print this e-mail?” thing…
Could there be a more complex way of doing that?
print screen, that’s when you put a screen on top of the scanner (extra points for doing it with a crt)ย
