Power Problems

Strange concept some people have: They think electrical items run on electricity at home and that said items run on fresh air in any other location. What other excuse do people have for bringing printers in without a power lead?

Printers that take normal figure eight power leads are not a problem; neither are those that for whatever reason end up taking standard three pin kettle leads, nor clover-leaf designs. HP printers tend to use a completely unique power pack for their printers which is pretty much not possible to get on its own. The scary thing is, if the printer takes figure eight, kettle or clover leaf, they'll bring the power cable down regardless. If it's anything else, they don't bring it down, ironically enough.

Of course, not to mention that the apparent problem with the printer turns out to be the fact there's nothing wrong with the printer and the problem is either the computer or (more likely) the person using the computer. Typically the print queue is full, or there's a corrupt job, or said printer isn't the default anymore.
