I love that he knows you so well, that he immediately goes to "sick power play", I think this says good things about you :)

At least the manager seemed to have a good sense of humor about it.

Has it gotten so bad that you have to send stuff to the manager to get it printed?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 33 minutes ago (1 children)

I could see a small office where the printer is just directly attached to one person's computer.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 4 points 23 minutes ago

Yes, that's probably how it is here. Still, it's strange, considering that most reasonably modern printers are fairly easy to set up for any company network.

Presumably, not much is printed here, as there is hardly any need for it anymore.

I had a job where they disabled access to all printers. If you needed a hard copy, you had to email the document to the printer admins and they would print after reviewing it.

Similarly, they were too cheap to pay for zoom licenses so if you needed a meeting longer than 40 minutes, you had to email the zoom admins with the list of attendees and they would create it.

But getting a repeating zoom meeting scheduled was virtually impossible.

Did anyone ever tell you the back story for that rule?

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 20 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The general answer is every stupid rule was an over reaction to something.

And the owner runs it like a gas station and assumes everyone is stealing from the till.

Thank you for the insight

I've seen offices where only a few people were able to connect to the network printer and just ask people if they can print it.

Usually they've tries using flash drives but many large printers are also terrible at reading pdf files from them.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, they often leave out the text in pdf forms. And the drive has to be formatted in a way yours isn't.

It's amazing that the faster Ethernet gets and the more powerful network devices become, the fewer things we can do.

Why wouldn't just about everyone get the ability to print on the device whose sole purpose is to print things? If everything is set up right, you can even set per-user policies so Jarrett doesn't waste ink printing 50 AI pictures of kittens to hang in his soulless office cubicle.

because printers are evil

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 13 hours ago

And tons of companies block flash drive access now

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

i always assumed the OP was just home and didn't have a printer there

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 159 points 20 hours ago

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 12 points 15 hours ago
