I hear ya, I also have (P)rinter (T)roubleshooting (S)tress (D)isorder. Wearing several hats is great, but having to support internal and external customers with printer issues (my main job was programming the company's flagship product also...) almost drove me to start farming potatoes somewhere far away. Brutal does not start to describe it.


I am amazed that printer companies can get away with simply not releasing drivers for old printers. Pay a couple grand for a printer and then when the latest OS comes out the printer company says "sorry we can't give you a driver for the latest OS"


I also have that form of PTSD. Funny war story, I have a small sized scar on one of my fingers because I put my fist through my last home printer. And I consider myself a pretty calm guy...
