printer out spew

When your printer is not plugged in for a while, so every time you press print nothing happens. Then, one day, when it's plugged in again about 50 papers are printed, none of which you really needed.
"Where were you, you're 20 minutes late!"

"Sorry, I just plugged in the printer to print my paper, but I got major printer out spew."

printer hijacking

At college in dorm rooms lots of people have wireless printers. You can print off of anyone's printer and they will never know who printed. Printing naughty things is particularly amusing.
"Hey Josh, your printer is spitting out an image of a woman getting boned by a horse!"

"Jesus, I'm a victim of printer hijacking!"

"Haha, gotcha!"

Printer Whore

Where one person proceeds to go to the printer constantly touching it, rubbing it eventually getting themselves off to the vibrations as it prints and fulfilling their sexual desires.
Chris: What the hell!! Did you see Anne at the printer there. She was touching it up and getting all rowdy with it.

John: Yeah, she is a total printer whore!!

Chris: She must be, she had her knickers off as it was printing!!!

Printer Guard

To guard the printer at work.

When you have printed something you know you shouldn't have, using your office's printer/ink.

You then guard the printer while your paper is being printed so that no one else can accidentally grab your paper. Which could result in embarrassment and/or reprimanding.

Also "Printer Anxiety":
While you are Printer Guarding, you may experience Printer Anxiety because (a) You have printed something long and it is taking forever. (b) Your paper has gotten jammed. (c) Someone is printing at the same time as you, so you both are standing near the printer, awkwardly.
Office Girl 1- "Wow, that was sketchy, I just got done printing 13 pages of my coupons, in color!"

Office Girl 2- "So what?"

Office Girl 1- "So, I had to Printer Guard for like 20 minutes while it was printing!"

printer vigil

Waiting in front of a shared office printer to promptly collect the output, to prevent your colleagues from discovering that you're printing your resume.
My manager noticed me holding a printer vigil today; he is becoming suspicious that I am looking for a better job.
