Probably has to do with the first response for anyone troubleshooting a printer is to smack it.

Yeah but have you ever, ever seen a printer that wasn't asking for it?

My printer issues are software related most of the time. Driver crashed, PDF doesnt print correctly, this webpage doesnt print like it looks on screen etc. The hardware itself its tough as nails.

That's always a pain, usually switching between PCL5, PCL6, PCL-XL drivers fixes it.

God, this was the loving bane of my existence back when I had to deal with such things. gently caress printers forever. My hope for all of SH/SC is that everyone gets to the point where they no longer have to deal with printers, or can make the command decision to outsource all printer related issues to a 3rd party agency.

And please get awesome with vlookup. I use that stupid function every single day at work. My job is technically not in Excel.

I know it's not best practice to make your AD/DNS Server a printer server but it'll survive then get your local printer company to install drivers here.

for converting the medical department to electronic records we sure do print a gently caress ton of poo poo still. also doctors that are too god drat lazy to go to a different printer that is either 5ft away or 10ft because theirs is temporarily down infuriate me. christ i hope i get this advisory job i've been interviewing for

Everyone will still print poo poo. What we're aiming for is no paper filing. We have warehouses of documents in storage. People would still rather request from there and wait a week for arrival than just look at the electronic file in 5 seconds. /Lawyers

It's easy to have a paperless office, simply leave a printer to work with no intervention for 10 days and you'll be printing jackshit.

Get multi-function printers (even better with print control/budgeting per dept), replace all fax machines and lines with eFax, and install Foxit Reader on every workstation you can see. Double your file server and backup capacity. Get yourself document management that isn't Sharepoint. They'll still print, but they'll print less when it becomes more of a hassle than going paperless.

Dark Helmut posted:Clients will pay me left and right for people who can code right out of school. Development is a hot ticket and will be for the foreseeable future, so you could have done a lot worse with your major. Be sure to highlight what languages you are good with on that resume and start firing it off. If you have any good code samples or projects to augment your light IT experience, find a way to get those in the right hands too either via portfolio site or github or whatever it is you code monkeys do. This worries me a bit. A couple years ago "people" were touting infrastructure as a solid place to be, and I've managed to steer myself into a lot of senior infrastructure experience. Now I have the potential possibility of continuing being the lead of infrastructure (network/datacenter) at my current company but with a larger team, or moving into more of a project management/assistant dept manager role. Do you think infrastructure is not a good place to be in general or do you just mean that new guys with no real experience are having a rough go of it?

The big issue is our DMS which is not super user-friendly and requires good and ongoing training ("This is how and why you label and tag and categorise files"). Training is the answer to every problem in this place. We're just not good at delivering it. adorai posted:Our "paperless office" is really just not storing paper. Lots of people print, write on the paper, then scan it in and import it back into our document management system. Obviously this is not the perfect Zero-Paper scenario, but it IS the scenario most likely to work. poo poo, even I still print things out and draw all over them.

There are great careers to be had in infrastructure and there are a ton of posters in this thread that prove it. I just meant that generally speaking "native-English speaking" devs right out of school are a highly-prized commodity and easier to place.
