Paper jams, security problems, user error… What are the biggest annoyances about managing printing problems at the office?

As a Sysadmin and do-it-all kind of IT guy, I unfortunately still have to manage printers at the office on a daily basis. And the one thing that probably annoys me the most about managing printers is the user factor. How many time do I get called to fix paper jam issues, or just to troubleshoot a job that doesn’t come out because the user chose the wrong paper format? These thing happen daily, even though we, noble IT staff, try to teach administrative clones how to solve these issues themselves.

But what about you guys? What are the biggest annoyances you face when managing printing problems at the office? Paper jams? Security problems? User errors? We’d love to hear all about YOUR problems, so be sure to let us know about them in the comments section below!
