How I Became a Printer Expert Overnight
My printer stopped working a week or so ago. Because I love opening the cases of all equipment electronic and because college sometimes requires printing ink onto paper, I decided to repair it myself. It turns out I would have to combat the mother of all paper jams to restore my printer to its former health.
My printer in all of its former glory. Notice it's not printing anything. Coincidence...I think not!
Taking apart printers can be fun!
Hmm...No paper jam here...
There's the culprit! A popcorn kernel stuck in the hardest place to reach in the entire printer! How'd that get in there...?
How does this go back together again?
Hehehe...I found the switch that tells the printer whether it's open or closed...Now I have ultimate power! No more waiting for the printer to be closed before it will print for me!
Oops...that switch wasn't supposed to break. Better use duct tape. Now the printer is perpetually closed, even if I open the lid.
Almost there printy!
The best part of working with any piece of technology is the leftover screws that magically appear. Home Depot's not getting my money any time soon.
The printer is up and running.
The universe has been restored to its proper order.

I thought it was funny when I saw this posting, the ad at the top of the page said "Printer problems?" That, to me, is very funny.
