I've only had to deal with printers once while working in IT. But, I also never worked a help desk.

I work at an MSP and I deal with printers daily. Fucking hate them

I once turned down a six figure job because they asked too many printer related questions

That's wild. But I get it. Printers are the bane of my existence.

The only thing worse than a normal printer is a large format printer

I have to fix gigantic plotter printers like once a month and the amount of paper that gets wasted in the troubleshooting process is insane

I remember troubleshooting plotters for a while, if they were under warranty I would sometimes just ignore that I was certified and just scheduled one of their techs to come out just so I didn't have to deal with it.
