Ha! I am a programmer that wrote printer software for 20 years. I get to live.
Did you also write the software that checks if the ink is counterfeit and bricks the entire printer? If so, I'm a big fan of yours and would like to meet you in person. Please DM me your name and address.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC
It’s the big white house with the fence. Name’s Don. Looking forward to meeting you.
Oh, and my little buddy J.D. came up with the bit that prevents you from printing in B&W if one of the other colors is empty. He’s usually hanging around here too.
"get"
You also get to refill ink and remove crumpled paper with staples from the printer. Since, you know, you're the printer person.
What does paper jam taste like?
Slightly better than traffic jam
This was the first one I worked on.
The paper jams could be scary.
But do you want to?
Yes?
