[–]drunkmonkey176 68 points69 points ago

That is a printer not a copier!

[–]mr_furious7 26 points27 points ago

The man is right. Letting my nerd hang out here: that's an HP Laserjet 4000.

[–]slokotkov 24 points25 points ago

HP 4000, 4050, 4100, 4150. Its one of these models, they look exactly the same except a few interior parts. I used to repair them all the time at my previous job.

[–]thebendavis 6 points7 points ago

Those things were extremely easy to work on compared to modern printers. The Kalashnikov of laser printers.

[–]Solipsism1 4 points5 points ago

Even easier were the LaserJet II, IIp, and III. Those were the days.

[–]BEEB0D0 2 points3 points ago

Even though all of you are right, I crown you all Buzz Killjoy enjoying the nerd life.

[–]comptiger5000 2 points3 points ago

Laserjet 4 is best. The toner cartridges just never run out.

[–]slokotkov 0 points1 point ago

True, but OP's printer, goes about 10k pages on a single toner with 5% coverage. Same as the LJ 4

[–]comptiger5000 0 points1 point ago

I know. My point is, out of every old LJ4 I've seen pulled out of storage, I've NEVER seen one actually run out of toner, no matter how long they think the cartridge is low.

[–]slokotkov 0 points1 point ago

Thats awesome. 5SI printers are like double the toner capacity. I've never seen one go out, even though we would put about 1k pages onto it a week. I worked there for about 2 years.

[–]nmarchet 4 points5 points ago

And this is how you do it ...

[–]esbenab 0 points1 point ago

Python script, supports special chars in the hp-roman8 encoding. Link

[–]Sidarius 0 points1 point ago

I know every one of you replying to this is in I.T in some way for these responses..I saw the picture and was like "NOPE"

[–]liarandathief 1 point2 points ago

I've spent many an hour standing in front of this model waiting for my printout.

[–]CrossCheckPanda -2 points-1 points ago

I bet its a printer/copier

[–]vengeancecube 2 points3 points ago

It's not.

[–]CrossCheckPanda -2 points-1 points ago

...prove it?

[–]vengeancecube 4 points5 points ago

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet_4000_series

[–]CrossCheckPanda -1 points0 points ago

Fair enough. Upvotes for you.

[–]allankcrain 38 points39 points ago

I used to work in a computer lab where my main purpose in life was keeping the LJ4000 fed with printer paper and toner, plus making sure nobody rolled around in the chairs.

I used to change the message on the printer to read "OUT OF CHEESE". Oftentimes students would come up to me and tell me that the printer was saying it was out of cheese, to which I would respond "Of course it is. Why would you put cheese in a printer?"

Then I would look at them like they were an idiot.

[–]geargrabber5 4 points5 points ago

That is awesome.

[–]bozzwtf 23 points24 points ago

Better than mine.

[–]TriforceFace 7 points8 points ago

RUN.

[–]mordacthedenier 0 points1 point ago

Yours is better because it doesn't have stupid text on it.

[–]mordacthedenier 7 points8 points ago

Nice job getting around my you are drunk filter asshole.

[–]MinjaSaurus 29 points30 points ago

Go home repost, you are a repost.

[–]The0 7 points8 points ago

Here's some advice for ya, chief. On the house.

[–]Xx420xcirclejerker69 3 points4 points ago

Might as well just sticky the most common reposts to the front page and lock the comment sections while we are at it.

[–]The0 0 points1 point ago

Or you could just grow the fuck up and stop bitching about using 3 seconds of your super-productive and valuable reddit time (yeah right) looking at something you've looked at a few times before. Just close the tab and move on.

Or, you know, waste even more of that ever-so-regarded valuable reddit time getting angry and making a comment about it. Because that makes sense.

[–]Xx420xcirclejerker69 -2 points-1 points ago

Right, because you aren't doing the same time wasting bullshit right now...

[–]The0 1 point2 points ago

Condescendingly yelling at people in the hopes that everyone will do extensive research about a funny picture they just saw for the first time in order to make certain that it has never, ever been seen before ever by anybody anywhere at any time on the internet is extremely stupid and a gigantic waste of time.

Telling people to stop being bitching, annoying whiners may be a waste, but it's not nearly as stupid as the former. But I'm glad you admit that my point is valid.

[–]Xx420xcirclejerker69 -1 points0 points ago

Whos yelling lol? You are imagining some weird shit.

"PC Load Letter? WTF does that mean?"

[–]beefmongerer 9 points10 points ago

For those who have trouble reading this: http://i.imgur.com/3RNnw.jpg

[–]DrVonWad 1 point2 points ago

Thank you!

[–]beefmongerer 1 point2 points ago

Any time!

[–]Horkersaurus 1 point2 points ago

I am not seeing any letters at all in OP's image. It's just pure blue. Fuck, am I colorblind?

[–]Beremat 3 points4 points ago

Um. Maybe. The letters are purple-ish.

Here are the same colors, but enlarged: http://puu.sh/1fm0P

Can you distinguish between them?

[–]Horkersaurus 1 point2 points ago

No, that's showing up as just the one aquamarine sort of color. Weird that the Army didn't pick up on it when they were testing me.

...Are you messing with me?

Edit: I guess not, I can see the difference if I invert the colors in MSPaint haha.

[–]Mantipath 1 point2 points ago

Those are basically the same color but very different in brightness. You'd have to be blind to changes in brightness.

Your monitor is probably at fault. That or a bad lighting setup.

[–]Beremat 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it could be that. You should try viewing it on a different screen!

[–]beefmongerer 1 point2 points ago

Or just tilt the screen. Try looking at it directly perpendicular.

[–]Horkersaurus 0 points1 point ago

Yep, I can see it fine on my phone.

[–]Shazambom 3 points4 points ago

I immediately though of this when I saw this post

[–]15herzh 3 points4 points ago

"No patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument"

[–]franick1987 0 points1 point ago

How about using that tired reference on the title so it can be caught under everyone else's filters.

[–]strineGreen 2 points3 points ago

I thought I was the only who tried to make copies of my sandwich.

[–]Rainb0wcrash99 1 point2 points ago

Heavy tried to copy his sandvich

[–]WildCheese 2 points3 points ago

Check out a program called hijetter to do the same thing with almost any networked hp laserjet.

[–]esbenab 2 points3 points ago

code here: https://bitbucket.org/esbenab/hp_printer-prank

[–]geargrabber5 1 point2 points ago

And that's a printer not a copier. You can't fool the Internet.

[–]Absol64 0 points1 point ago

"Is mayonnaise an ink?"

[–]strotifiler 0 points1 point ago

I immediately thought of this

[–]_Mattman_ 14 points15 points ago

Go home OP, you are fag.

[–]TunicaExterna 3 points4 points ago

SO FUCKING TIRED OF USING THE "YOU ARE DRUNK" LINE. It's not funny.

[–]dallaschristman 4 points5 points ago

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

[–]beefmongerer 0 points1 point ago

No, Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument.

[–]Flawd -1 points0 points ago

HP 4100n I believe. I had that old exe file that let you change the LCD output. Lost it years ago...

[–]hojaker3 -1 points0 points ago

this should have been titled 10 machine

[–]CaptainFabulous93 -1 points0 points ago

FEED ME A STRAY CAT

[–]killjoy1221 -1 points0 points ago

At least it has plenty of JAM.

[–]Iron-Manatee 0 points1 point ago

Fuck it EDIT: It says mayonnaise.

[–]OhHaiMarc 1 point2 points ago

yes, yes it does

[–]thatnoblekid 0 points1 point ago

I corrected the grammer on this exact same picture earlier, when it read "your drunk"

http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/11ipio/silly_printer

At least he knew it was a printer...

[–]caddrt 0 points1 point ago

This literally has me lol-ing

[–]the_internet_clown 0 points1 point ago

stop being an asshole and give the coping machine some mayonnaise

[–]rgeguypic 0 points1 point ago

Still makes more sense than "PC Load Letter"

[–]mulduvar12 0 points1 point ago

My printer was really clever and any time I tried to cancel something that was nearly completed printing it would say "Waiting for end of prin"

[–]LadyA052 0 points1 point ago

I used to work at a place where I could change the message on the copier. Freaked everybody else out until I confessed.

[–]chrisl7072 1 point2 points ago

You people whining about reposts, get a life. I'm glad for the repost, I hadn't seen this before, and for some reason it hit a nerve just right. I literally laughed out loud for 5 minutes about the drunk printer that's low on mayonnaise. Thank you OP, this made my day.

[–]CamWin 0 points1 point ago

Dude just do what it says. What could go wrong?

[–]jibuzaemon -1 points0 points ago

This will get buried...but this is what it's all about http://archive.org/details/WaverlyFilmsBooksOnCampuscomcommercialNowtoSave

[–]foodgoesinryan 1 point2 points ago

Holy crap I made my printer at work say the same thing! You use a program called HPNT. http://imgur.com/VGDnq

[–]bigscrawny -1 points0 points ago

Go home, you are drunk.

This is not funny and never was funny.

[–]TunicaExterna -2 points-1 points ago

Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you.

[–]ninefivedelta -2 points-1 points ago

Hahahahaha, you told it to go home. Because it was drunk!!! Ahahaha

[–]JamesTheIII -2 points-1 points ago

GODDAMMIT PATRICK! mayonnaise is not fucking printer ink too!

[–]Bishop7243 0 points1 point ago

How does it not know that mayonnaise is an instrument?

[–]godzillary 0 points1 point ago

I dare you to reload it.

[–]x3r0h0ur -1 points0 points ago

That can't be a copier its a 4000 or 4100 series laserjet.

[–]squeezecake 0 points1 point ago

2 CHAINZ!!! Ok now catch up to my mayonnaise, coupe the color of mayonnaise I'm drunk and high at the same time drinking mayonnaise on the airplane, spit rounds like mayonnaise, beat it up like mayonnaise, hundred bands, cut your girl, now your girl need mayonnaise.
