I work in printing and the weirdest story I’ve heard sounded like a tall tale. Now I’m starting to believe, especially after the granola bar story. A service call comes in for streaks on printed pages. Tech finds there’s some kind of debris on one of the rollers near the fuser (hot part that makes toner stick.) He fixes it but is scratching his head as to what’s happening. Happens a second time. They’re considering escalating it up the support change, when he’s interrupted by an office worker on site. He explains that they can’t use the printer, he’s servicing it. They reply no, I don’t need to print. I’m just going to heat up my bagel. They were opening up the fuser and sticking their bagel in there like a toaster, getting crumbs all over gently caress.

Nah, you're thinking of Keurig's newer machines that have DRM dot on the coffee pod but they've basically discontinued them and it never mattered because you can use a Sharpie or a piece of tape to defeat it or like dozens of random things off Amazon.

No joke I have a ask/tell thread pre made and filled with insane stories that I encountered as a field tech. In fact that reminds me of the new tech that I was training that went to a customer where someone pissed all over the machine. Instead of writing it off as a biohazard and telling the customer to gently caress off(what he should have done) he spends 3 hours scrubbing it down. Gross.

They don't randomly flush coffee away "for maintenance". Or suddenly claim the ink sponge is full and brick themselves.

The company my company is contracted to gave us a fukken sweet sick printer that I have not yet accumulated the proper amount of hatred for. It works, the vast majority of the time, my only real hatred is the fact that the computer loving wipes the goddamn printer preferences every time I log into my account so any time I come into the office to do poo poo, I have to reconnect the printer to the computer. Ergo, my only complaint with Corporate America (aside from being a  experience wrt casual disregard for getting sued) is six or seven redundant layers of security. Log in, Log in again with another password, log into a password protected Outlook client with another absolutely dogshit in-housed memory security client, get my RSA key, log in again with my RSA key, reconnect the printer to the computer, print the item.While I understand the rationale, the actual implementation of security software is so piss-poor and every time I come in from the field to do office poo poo, there's at least one fella on the line to the in-house tech support with a tech fifty miles away in his pajamas unfucking his security client.

Heh I had a piece of poo poo old computer come in that stopped working because... Literally 2cm deep of nicotine (and whatever the gently caress else is in smokes) residue binded with cat hair covering the entire inside. And all the air intakes on the outside. I was ready to quit then and there if they forced me to try to clean it. I printed off some document about how touching pure nicotine could seriously gently caress you up, through your skin (no gloves of course, bring your own!) and was pretty strong about it being a biohazard. They grumbled and pushed back, but actually relented and then sold the person in question a shiny new computer. With a 3 year "extended warranty".

I've just purchased a brother laser mfu and plan to use knockoff toner in it. Good or bad idea? The third party set of toner is cheaper than the legit set by more than the total price of the printer.

Printers suck. The worst part about the contemporary models is that they need reconnecting after every reboot of the wireless router they're connected to after resetting said router. wtf, guys. Come on

Narlix posted:OK so I am a Xerox Printer specialist technician. We have colorqubes at my office. I hate them. They were decent until IT upgraded the firmware and they went from usable to "gently caress it, I'm going to spam all three printers - it should make it through on at least one!" The one by my desk is basically a Printer of Theseus now - we had a strange issue last fall where the local utility lost one of the phases on it's power supply, so we were only getting like 90V through the line. It fried that printer good, but slowly. We had a Canon tech out almost every week changing out parts that took too much current and started failing over time. Since I've been home I've printed exactly two work things since March, and I fully expect to continue this when/if I go back into the office.

I have an HP Officejet Pro X 576dw MFP that I took from work and it rules. It works about 90% of the time and I have a ton of ink for it so I’ll probably use it until i run out. It prints super fast and it’s built like a tank.

When my Brother mfc's touch screen digitizer layer started flaking off on the inside of the screen (apparently that's a thing that can happen!?) just after the warranty ended, the dude on the phone told me to just bring it in (he sounded like it was a common problem). Since I live close to a Brother repair center I just dropped it off personally. First thing the tech did, before even looking at the extremely visible screen, was open the flap to see if I was using official toner. I was and they gave me free warranty service, but I bet they'd have claimed they couldn't do anything for me if I had 3rd party toner.
