As I am the Marketing Department at Print Makers, I had to print some flyers on one of our printers yesterday. However when I hit the print button the machine was completely unresponsive. My first reaction was to go check the computer that routes all of our print requests. Upon doing so I found somebody had submitted a file that it didn't like which had blocked the rest of the files in the queue. No big deal, delete the corrupted one, everything else moves up in line and gets printed. However, my boss had had the same problem as I did but instead of checking the print queue his remedy was to hit the print button 27 more times. If you try and start your car but it doesn't even turn over is your first response to turn the key 27 more times? Computer problems are no different. If it didn't work the first time and you don't check or change anything chances are it won't the second, third, or twenty-seventh either. What is so different about technology that people don't understand? Can somebody tell me?
