Got a ticket from a user that says they can print only sometimes. Usually it errors out telling them 8.5x11 isn't available. We use metric paper sizes here, though, and it would still error out with that same message if the user forced it to A4 in the printer settings. In rare cases if the stars and moon were aligned properly the print job would actually succeed. This machine is one of the rare ones at my organization that's actually in English, and so I thought maybe the printer driver being US English might have been the problem. So I installed the Japanese driver instead, but still had the same problem. At that point, even though I think it to be unlikely, I decide it must be Windows, itself, messing things up. Lo' and behold, after some Googling I discovered that Windows has a hidden paper size setting that's determined by the language/region. Changing it from English(US) to English(Canada) fixed the issue. There really should be a paper size override setting in the Region/Language panel, but there is none even in Windows 10. On top of that the stupid Fuji Xerox driver probably should be honoring the user's chosen paper size settings. Printers are terrible. Everything about them is terrible.

The day is coming when this will gently caress with me...since my wife insisted on getting a Japanese printer even though our English ones can use A4.

If you are trying to print on A4 / other hp printers (esp Laserjet III) will give you PC Load Letter as a helpful clue that you need to change the paper size in the document you are working on. In other words a totally obscure message to confuse users.

In other words a totally obscure message to confuse users. PC = Paper Cassette = that drawer you pull out to put paper in. It's literally telling you to load Letter sized paper in that drawer that you put paper in to print the document. It might as equally say PC LOAD LEGAL or PC LOAD A4 depending on what paper is currently in the drawer or if it's empty. I've never understood why it's considered confusing. Yes I know, that's me, the humorless robot. Beep bop. And yes, I've seen Office Space. That joke felt flat to me then, too.

flosofl posted:PC = Paper Cassette = that drawer you pull out to put paper in. Can you appreciate that PC is also commonly used to reference a desktop computer, and Letter is commonly used to reference something sent through the mail, so having both used in a context that is ambiguous (since PCs are connected to the printer and the print job may in fact be a letter) is amusing? Because if not, gently caress you.

Yeah when I see 'PC' I don't think paper cartridges. Even then, those two words make me think of the paper wrapped gunpowder/ball things soldiers used in the Civil War, not of a computer part. Good job killing the joke, at least E: Oh he said cassette, not cartridge. That's even less obvious.

I've never heard anybody call it a paper cassette, in fact I doubt even the manual (which nobody in any office has read) calls it that Like the same UI that says "PC LOAD LETTER" will also say "TRAY 4" If printer manufacturers cared in the slightest about not being seen as the inheritors of the 70s-era "inscrutable stereo instructions" mantle, they could have just had the display say "OUT OF PAPER"

I always thought PC in that context was shorthand for Please, since those displays only have 16 characters.

RFC2324 posted:lp0 on fire! This would be great. Also had a ticket come in internally asking about a mailbox that was removed from Exchange. Apparently the user is still in AD so the guy was just wondering what was going on there. I haven't looked at it yet, but that wasn't how I thought that worked. Nothing pressing more just two of us now going "wtf is this".

Thanks Ants posted:No sorry, I got that bit. I mean where it talks about how it can protect people when they take laptops out the office - presumably it needs to manually set the DNS servers when that device leaves the corporate network? I was wondering how seamless that part is. I don't need people connecting to hotspots and having the redirect to the captive portal failing etc. OpenDNS offers a client called the OpenDNS umbrella client that you can install on roaming machines so that it is forced to always use OpenDNS DNS servers, even if the user tries to change it themselves.

ChubbyThePhat posted:This would be great. Someone probably took a backwards route and only shut off the Exchange mailbox instead of removing the AD account entirely. You can leave the mailbox and disable the AD account if, say, you need to forward mail to another account after someone leaves a company. Usually removing the AD account completely will nuke any mailboxes as well as long as Exchange/AD are tied together properly IIRC.

Sure, and it's still the same way mostly. It's just that nobody anywhere ever internalized the phrase "paper cassette". It's a robotic engineer's term that bubbled up all the way to being shoved in front of non-technical users, and in an abbreviated form to add insult to injury.

loving more broken cloud poo poo, this time our phones are dead again first thing in the morning as I come in the office. "Everything's hosed!"  "That's nice, I'm going to get a coffee while our hosting overlords sort themselves out" Ok I'm not that harsh about it but we had this poo poo last Friday, this time I sent a ticket and included some big wigs to duke it out.

It wouldn't happen to be something that relies on L3 for connectivity, would it? TWC is down and/or experiencing weird connectivity issues to different providers throughout New York because of a few different Level3 fiber cuts.
