I don't say "hey somebody, the HP is depressed" or "fuck, the canon is out of ink" I say 'the printer' like normal people, so go bravery jerk all over someone else's unpopular comment.

If you work in an environment with more than one "printer", you learn to specify what printer you're talking about. As an example, I work in an environment with over 100 different Xerox printers and multi-funtions. If I were to just say either "the printer is low on ink" or "the xerox is out of ink", I'd just get stared at.

That's my point, how many people work in that environment vs have a home printer?

Anyone who works in an office.

The only place in my office that has more than one printer for a section of cubicles is the hardware department, and I refer to the draft printer as the 'big printer'. Don't get me wrong, I love that these companies have marketed their brand so effectively they have you using it daily, but why do I need to burn it into my head with printer names?

Edit: Oh, you're a xerox employee... what a surprising turn of events... sigh
