I'm a sysadmin by trade. My hobbies are:

cooking with nothing but a cast iron pan and a knife I forged after a medieval design
tinkering on bicycles ('90s MTBs, the golden age of component compatibility)
sewing clothes by hand
smashing printers with baseball bats

smashing printers with baseball bats

I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:

They're sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.

Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don't wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.
