You have to remember dz_nuts is a little older. He did have to build a dot matrix printer. What was it? A Tandy?

Oh, I'm assuming we would be required to install printers and than the drivers when we meet the customers at their business, if that's all than that would be simple, because installing printers and drivers is not difficult at all, I definitely have experience with that.Originally posted by 4doorj
Well reason I ask it just because working on cars helps you with your mechanical skills which you will need working on printers.
Do you think they will be asking for more than just installation?
Here is the job responsibilities of the position btw, so you have an idea what job your helping me out with.
Your Key Objectives
Installing copier, facsimile, multi-functional and colour equipment at customer sites. Performing equipment service on a required basis within specific time parameters. Responding to customer calls in a prompt and efficient manner. Completing preventative maintenance according to regular schedules. Maintaining all Company tools and materials, including an accurate inventory of parts. Communicating with the Supervisor regularly on all aspects of service. Completing required service and equipment performance reports as required
90 percent fixing printers, 10 percent or less installing.
fixing printers, meaning like opening them up and than troubleshooting from the inside?
Yeah, didn't learn anything about that, damn this sucks.
Yeah you get trained on it. That's what most of your job would consist of.Originally posted by Ali20

Most networking you would do maybe is just entering the IP address into the printer, or maybe not very often installing the drivers. But usually the companies IT will do that for you.
You won't be doing alot of networking unfortunately.
That sounds better, but she didn't mention anything about training, the way she was talking sounded like I was going to be put on the field and required to finish the job.
No haha. Each machine is different. You will get training on every machine before you go out and work on it. But they will also train you on how to read their documentation and the way their company works too including keeping track of all the parts.
I dont think there is anyone that can come out of school and fix a machine without training.
Thanks a lot man.
I was under the impression that they would expect you to work right away or else they would be "what the hell were you doing in college if you don't know how to do this stuff", it makes sense for them to have that kind of reaction.
Boy am I glad that they will still train you even after you have graduated from a college program of their job field.
What. The. Fuck. Question. Mark.
It shouldn't be that bad - when it comes to printers depending on the printers that you are working with. Every IT company that supports another company will always have policies in place that pertain to what you support and cannot support.Originally posted by Ali20

Such printers like wide format plotters are usually best efforts and if it requires more may need to bring a specialist in to have a look at it.
I find most of the time you're taking out paper jams, changing fusers, maintenance kits, that kind of thing, installing and configuring them to the networks.

Not sure if trolling but I took that same course and it has nothing to do with printers...

Ali, make sure you bring up your resourcefulness by consulting "experts" here on beyond regarding pretty much all of your life's choices. Especially the way you built your stradigy together for the class action lawsuit you are going to file against that "scam artist" who sold you that Van.
you know, the van you bought for good hard earned money, which should provided you hundreds of miles per gallon.
Oh & yes, IT is easy money, I'm just so glad more people like you are jumping into this industry...
------------------------
in all seriousness it sounds like you are in week 4 of 32 of this certificate programs like http://www.sait.ca/programs-and-cour...e-overview.php
which means at this point there is NO reason why you should be looking for a job you have no prior experience or actual training to perform.

I love that this is happening!!!! Keeps me employed cleaning up after other people mess.
Ali, let me know where you end up working so that I can come in behind you and fix all the problems you create

As well, enterprise printing is a lot different then the plug and play at your house..... You have print servers, permission levels (some people can manage the printers, other only print), different driver packages for the different architectures, etc... It is a whole different ball game then just tossing a disc in a computer and telling the prompt to look for drivers

Just wear this and you'll be fine.
Then you add a print server that is located in Vancouver that needs to talk to a different subnet in Calgary; to print from a specific workstation that is remote accessing the Terminal server; but then you find out that the printer driver for the print server only supports paper in a specific tray, in a specific size and only prints PCL5 and in LDP mode.Originally posted by quick_scar

How did I end up in this gig again??
