Dear User,

Thanks for replacing the fuser in the Xerox printer and saving me the effort. The next time you take it upon yourself to replace the fuser, would you also please take it upon yourself to order a new one as well so we can have a part on hand the next time the fuser needs replacing? I know your coworkers are thrilled that they cannot print until the new fuser is courier'ed over. Your boss will also be thrilled when the bill arrives.

Signed,

Your local Sys Admin who doesn't really have time for a 'fuser emergency' today.

At my last job, the first ticket I got was to fix a color laser printer that had jammed.

Apparently, they had run a T-shirt transfer page through it instead of the inkjet printer on their desk, and wondered why the fuser decided to keep the paper and wrap it around the pressure roller...

The kicker is that the printer had _just_ been installed three days previous. Fortunately, I was able to surgically remove the offending paper without damaging the fuser too much. (It was a very cheap color laser printer that was the bane of my existance for the entire time there- cheapest on the market, but boy did it cost them in terms of toner!)

I remember when HP came out with the CLJ 2400 (I think that's the number). No display, just idiot lights and cheap as crap plastic everything. I hated those printers. So many paper jams. But they were under $1000, I think. PoS!

People feeding sheets of labels through multiple times "because I only need a few at a time" is my favorite here....

Don't you always have extras on hand? Where I was working there were seldom less than 5 or 10 spares of every replacable part for the printers.

And it sure as hell wasn't my job to maintain that inventory. I'd just pop a new fuser in and forget about it.
