    The customer was told as their new multifunction KM-1650 was installed to just use the cable from their old printer for the new one. A couple days go by and the network people call and tell me they cant get the printer online. So I call the office and after some questions we figure out that they had unplugged the cable from the wall and plugged it into the new copier so there was a cable going from the old printer to the new copier.
    Same customer about a month later calls once again telling me the copier is no longer on the network. So I call the office and after a few questions figure out that the network cable runs across a hallway and is plugged into the wall in another room. The kicker is they had been having lots of construction work being done and the guys had been rolling equipment and 2 wheelers across the cable and had completely cut it in half.

    In both cases the IT people told me they didn't want to deal with the people in that office because they were just dumb when it came to stuff like this.

He had emptied all the "black stuff" from the toner and dev units, washed and dried them, but the piece de resistance, Polished the drum to a high mirror bright aluminium finish.


    Customers.....you gotta love them.

    A mate told me once that he was working at an office where he was sent to a problem with a Lexmark SC1275 color laser printer. The display said 'PC life expired'.
    The client thinking this message meant their actual PC computer (which was reasonably old anyway) was 'out of date' and would no longer print to their printer, went out and purchased a new computer and was having trouble installing the drivers, which was the reason for the call-out.

    A new PC unit was taken off their shelf, installed into the printer and off it went. Apparently the looks around the office was priceless. I can see why.

    Xerox docucolor 4lp actually had a message that stated "machine at end of life" when the counter hit 250k you could reset it once so at 500k it was useless unless you replaced the main pwb.......

    Stupidity is world wide. One of my customers told me a similar story. The printer said change PC, so the IT guy did, and called when the message did not go away.
