Why can't we write the error code messages??

Had to work on a lexmark with a squeek buried deep in the drive. Thought I got it, but it came back in a few days. When I came back to hose it down with grease the second time the display read "Still Squeaking" instead of "Ready" and "Silence is golden" instead of "Offline" and "Care to try again?" for "Warming up"

Needless to say it was in the IT department and we had just taken over their printer maintenance.
I thought about changing it to "Smartass" when I left, but my manager probably wouldn't have thought it was funny.

I didn't know that IT people had a sense of humor.

Only the newbies. It passes quite quickly.

You should see them laughing it up once the copier guy leaves...

I used to tell Konica customers to watch the whale while it is warming up.
Watch real close and it will do a flip.
It never did and nobody ever admitted they watched the screen the whole 5 minutes.

I would like to program the message 'Situation hopeless- prepare to spend money-' This would allow me to charge more for what I do.
