While it's not part of my formal job description, other teachers and staff at
my school let me know if they're having computer problems... and sometimes I
can fix them without having to put in a formal request to the school district
technician (and wait a couple of weeks for his visit)... this Friday, I went to
three classrooms where the teachers were all reporting printer problems.

In the first, pressing the power button to turn the printer on solved the
problem.

In the second, turning the printer off then turning it on again solved the
problem.

In the third, turning on the computer that the shared printer was connected to
(and putting paper into the tray) solved the problem.

In each case, I printed out a test page to verify that everything was working
OK, and left it, with a note explaining in detail what I'd done on the
teacher's desk.

People need to pass a test before they're allowed to drive a car; John Dvorak
has suggested something similar for computer users. Sometimes I think he has a
point.
