My printer isn't working #393
Comments
|
The techs came, muttering something about 10T and peb cake. My printer prints now, but the colours are all wrong. |
|
Have you tried turning it off and on again? |
|
Have you connected the power cable both to the printer and to the wall? |
|
Thank you for your patience, wizzwizz4, in solving this tech issue. I just need you to find the cable that protrudes from the printer and follow it all the way to the end. If the printer has multiple protruding cables then you need to follow each cable. Please do so for all cables connected to the device and report back where they end and how they're connected at their ends. Are they plugged into any sockets? How do these sockets look? I await your feedback so we can continue troubleshooting your issue. |

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say it’s my birthday today so I brought some cake down by
cubicle 10F on floor 5 near the broken coffee machine.
Feel free to drop by for a slice.

@emiln There are two cables coming out of the printer. One is a grey Cat5e cable (according to the tiny tiny tiny lettering on it) and that's plugged into nothing. The other one's the power cable and that's definitely plugged in because the printer is on. The printer prints fine. It's just the colours that are wrong when I print. Perhaps if I give the printer some of @lifenautjoe's cake it'll print properly again. |
|
I'm afraid that to get to the root of the problem, we're going to have to ask you to perform some further tests. What happens if you print on different colored paper? |
|
@morganbye The colours go really really wrong. I can't even see some of them any more. Can I have some opposite colour paper so the colours will go right again? I don't know where to get that. |
|
Hey folks, I got some holiday pictures by email but when I try to print them out the printer only prints question marks. Please advise |
|
Dear Claudia,
Are the question marks like this ? Or this ¿ . Juan has been messing with
the language settings since the last week trying to print some of his
daughters homework.
Merry Christmas,
Joel.

Yes, exactly!! |
|
@cameronxm Your question marks need to be like ? and not like )EŁeł&ŁŁ® and they should be in a little box. Otherwise the printer won't work. |
|
Yes. |
|
All of the pages it prints are smeared in old, smelly cake. It doesn't work with the switch on or off. |
|
Speaking about cake, my son just scored an A+ on maths and I’ve brought
some cake downstairs to celebrate.
Feel free to come get some and happy holidays !
( Except you Trevor ! )

@lifenautjoe Thanks! I'm going to feed some more to my printer as an incentive to work again. |
|
Hi @wizzwizz4 What has happened is that the inks dried out during your holiday. The initial technician re-activated the printer but didn’t manage to hydrate the inks again. As the support staff are currently all nursing hangovers, you’ll have to perform the steps yourself to fix the printer colours.
P.s. we’re doing some power tests over the next few days, if the lights go off during this process, please wait for them to come back on before re-trying |
|
Instructions still unclear @stestagg . Could you write a draft for a manual and schedule a meeting for review with the entire department? Cheers.
|
|
@stestagg I accidentally dipped it in "methylated spirit" by mistake, so I waited for it to dry, dipped it in some water I found and then plugged it in. Will this be OK? It still prints funny. Also, when are you doing the tests? |
|
@lab Hope you don't mind I borrowed your water and stuff for a bit. It was closer than my water. I put it back afterwards, though it might be a bit mixed up. |
|
@lifenautjoe The printer manual review meeting has been adjourned indefinitely because we couldn’t agree on whether it’s “liquefy” or “liquify.” |
|
@claui come on, this is getting ridiculous! The corporate spelling SOP clearly states on on page 803 that it's liquify, unless an approved exemption form from the compliant spelling board has been filed at least 5 working days before the incident. I'm going to have to report this to compliance as you obviously have some training refresher courses to attend! Edit: Note, CSB approvals take at least 3 months to obtain, so it's best to get them in early on the off-chance you need them |
|
@stestagg Thanks for the pointer! We actually tried to consult the SOP at some point during the meeting but the printer wouldn’t print it. |
|
@claui I talked to the techs and apparently salt water works better for liquidation of the printer ink. But I've found somebody online called "Michael Marcovici" who says he can liquidate any assets, and printer ink is an asset, so I'm going to talk to him instead. I don't think @lab would like it if I put salt in their "specially cleaned" water; they didn't even like me dipping the plug in it! |

Hi and thank you for your message. I’m out of the office right now but I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you need something about the annual report, call Dorothy.

My printer still doesn't work. Also, I was charged $500 by "Michael Marcovici, Attorney at Law" for not fixing the printer. How do you claim back money for company stuff again? I can't remember the form number. |
We only accept submissions in printed form. |

Glad to read so @claui and looking forward to the report of the outcome. Shall we schedule a meeting for next month to discuss findings @ALL ?

@claui I found the printer in portrait mode when I came back. It looks like the contractor also sorted that wireless issue I've been complaining about. There are some sharp bits of metal sticking out of the back, though; maybe that's a safety hazard. Also, it still won't print colours right. |
|
you can always try to rename the colors on the printer. |

Guys! (and Woman colleagues! I remember my mandatory sensitivity trainings..) Ian from services just sent through the service report. It might be time to push for an IT refresh again, maybe it'll be successful this time. I hear the lead-time for new equiement is down to 13 months now, so we might get lucky |
|
I plugged the internet calbele into the printer and now it's print glbkac. Lot and lots of black. |

|
Any update on this issue? I am experiencing a similar issue |
|
Claudia is out of office and may not respond. |
|
The Techs might have been color blind hence the mix up. I'm afraid now you too will have to get color blind filters so both you and your printer can be on same settings. |
|
I have another Problem, my Printer now Prints in RGB instead of CMYK |
|
I'm new Python developer and I can't compile my project, please help! I think it may be connected to this library's printer problem somehow based on my experience I think I'm right. |
|
I can confirm the issue |
|
We're out of paper cups for the water dispenser |
|
@brayjamin I could not find a solution for this on StackOverflow. Have you tried using a debugger? |
|
I think it’s time to move it on blockchain otherwise we will be stuck with the printer issue forever. It will also allow us to monetise it using smart contract and NFTs. |
hey we need a roadmap ASAP , we need to work on #641 bevore we can commit to our roadmap though |
|
was a fix found? |
|
Nevermind I fixed mine. |
|
I have the same issue |

Everyone. Printer is now AI enabled. To print, you have to persuade the AI that you have a valid business case for the use of company resources. For color prints, there is a quorum of 5 AIs. You have to persuade a majority before the print request will be accepted. Printer output may be edited, paraphrased or summarised to reduce wastage and ensure that all content is compliant with corporate language and phrasing policies. For a band 4 exemption, or to delve into the situation further, please email: meredith.palmer.(inactive)@dundermifflin.internal Important Reminder as the AIs represent the future of the company, any abuse or insults directed towards any AI, or any attempt to subvert or ‘jailbreak’ them will result in immediate termination and the replacement of your role with an appropriate AI. As a large language model, I am unable to claim that this message was written by a human. I am also unable to sign off the missive with a witty and motivationally inspiring sign off as this contravenes current corporate AI usage standards. |
|
@stestagg I tried to use the printer. I stood at it and I yelled PRINT for half an hour. The printer did not print. How do I activate the AI? I need to print some flyers for my Solstice Beef Party. |
|
@Tylersuard refer to the SOP: DM.AI001.202409 if you’re unable to find the SOP on the intranet. Ask your local friendly AI enabled printer for help locating it (AI printers now also serve as first line IT support and local HR function) |
|
@Tylersuard Note that the printer AI follows strict DEI, DYI and ASAP rulesets to provide us with the best possible customer experience. It may or may not, therefore, reject offering you guidance if you do not form your request in a sufficiently inclusive manner. Feel free to use the following prompt-engineered message to increase chances of not getting ghosted by the robot: |
I used to be able to use my printer, but after coming back from holiday it doesn't work. Every time I try to print, a box comes up and even after I close it it still doesn't work.
