Stop printing cr@p!!!!

My boss did a report on "his" computer...he then sent it to "my" printer to print it out.

Unfortunately....it crashed and he very stoopidly turned my printer off!

This now means that I have loads of squiggles being printed off and no way of stopping it because I don't have the authority to.

*waves from behind now 2 reams of paper that has been printed off*

I've reused the paper, but it can only go through a heat source twice before it starts getting chewed up so call I can do is keep feeding it until it stops *sigh*

Anyone need any scrap paper?



Ooooh!!! I just got all exited then!! The printer stopped and I thought YAY!!! I've just looked at it and it's ran out of paper

Anyone want 2 reams of scrap paper?

you need holiday

has it finished or are you accessing hootoo from under a mountain of A4?

I rubber panel beating mallet fixes all known computer related problems

still got a mountain of A4 here...I've turned the printer off now, along with everything else, but I can't do my urgent letter!

Use your bosses printer, then apologise and switch his off "by accident". Its the only logical way to get even.

must be the day for it.

We have 2 printers on this floor, both of which I now find out have been 'stuck' since 9am. Stuck because someones print has b*gg*r*d them up.
1 is one of the developers, no prob.
The other is the Account Director, Mr. Big round here and no one seems willing to send him a snotty email!

Cowards!

I will!!!!!

why doesn't that surprise me?

Becasuse she is generally evil?

*puts on snotty hat*


Dear Boss,

You might not be aware, but someone has been messing about with our printer.. We have succeeded in evaluating that is has come from a source in your office.

Can you please refrain from using office equipment for your test pieces, as we are finding this to be extremely aggravating.


yours,



Ictoan..

actually, it's better than that. The print queue shows the username of the person doing the printing and the document title has his name in it!

One needs to be tactful with the Boss Icky..

Tackful? Is that when you send the snotty letter but don't sign it?


As for the spare paper VV, shred it and use it as animal bedding. It makes a great nesting material for .

i'm allways tactkyful when talking to a Head Manager/Boss thingy


You just tell him to go and play golf all day, and keep out of the way, or else you'll have to send the boys around!

worth a try!

Would you believe the printer queues are *still* blocked, but with a *huge* amount of documents lined up on them now. You'd have thought people would realise when their print still hasn;t come off 24hrs later...

Actually, I think it is the print server, not the printer now. And I can;t get to that otherwise the off switch might be accidently hit!
