We have a laser plotter at workPrints A0 in a couple of seconds and smells of static mmmm
Today I printed a plan and it printed 1 layer (foundations) but not the other (pipes). Tried again and same happened. Closed the file and opened again, this time it printed a blank sheet.
Tried again - blank sheet
and again - another blank sheet
and again - the first blank sheet as I put it in the manual feed to reuse it
ditto
Something wasn't right so from my amazing IT skills I knew that turning the printer on and off would probably sort it out. I also rebooted my PC for good measure.
After the reboot, I opened the file and printed again, went to the printer, and there were 6 bastard perfect prints waiting for me.
Turning it off and on isn't always the answer....

surelyclearing the print queue (machine or PC) would have avoided that

"It didn;t print, I'll rpint again" never solves your porblems.Fix the 1st friggin print job before you print another.
Had a student kill a printer by printing a 218MB presentation on a 64MB pritner 17 times before asking for IT help.
