The Price of a Problematic Printer

"The Fabulous" Lacey Newkirk: Hey, the big printer is fixed!
Chris Newkirk: Really? Great. How much did it cost?
FLN: [sigh] A hundred dollars.
CN: ...
CN: What was wrong with it?
FLN: You'll never guess.
CN: ...
FLN: Paper jam.
CN: We just paid $100 to fix a printer that's been broken for over a year and all that was wrong was a stupid paper jam!?
FLN: I love you.

Upon further reflection, we actually paid much more than $100. We've been using stupid ink jet cartridges for the past year instead of the much cheaper (print per page, that is) laser toner.

And all that was wrong was a paper jam.

And I'm supposedly a "professional computer guy".

If the CompTIA people hear about this, they're going to revoke my A+ certification.

  2. FLN: The paper that was being printed was a coupon, which I didn't get to use on the item, therefore spending more money by not using the coupon. :) stupid paper jam.
