Eh I never minded. I preferred printer problems. Fixing the default printing source made me cool. Downloading a driver or pointing a user to the right network printer made me a hero. Replacing a roller or a fuser so the printer stopped jamming elevated me to legendary. Much more relaxing then fixing someone’s janky SQL “formula” because their “excel is broken.”
Yup. “My excel is broken” is nightmare stuff. Fixing a printer can be as easy as unjamming some paper or replacing a toner cartridge.
And when it‘s really bad, you at least know that you for real can‘t do anything and have to wait for replacement parts or a technician. So no procrastination about how to fix it while you should be doing other things.
