We totally just fixed my printer using a sonic screwdriver

Jan 04, 2010 12:08

In mid-job, this morning, my printer decided that it didn't believe that Drawer 2 was not empty and/or open. I opened and shut it, I took the paper out and put the paper back in, I added MORE paper, I took the drawer completely out, blew some canned air into the space, and put the drawer back.

I restarted the printer. Twice.

I finally gave up and called IT.

The IT guys came out and did exactly the same thing that I had done.

They tried to use their iPhones to shine light into the space for the drawer, but that wasn't working. So, I pulled the sonic screwdriver toy I had in my purse, and we used the light on that to shine into the printer. (Complete with whirring sound effects.)

Suddenly, the printer worked!

None of us know what we might have done to garner a different result, so clearly the answer is that the sonic screwdriver did it.

printer, funny, doctor who
