Printer Blue

When your printer is out of black ink and you need to print something for class, you print it in the darkest shade of blue and you hope your teacher won't notice.

That shade of blue is called printer blue.
"My printer ran out of black, and I had my mid-term paper due tomorrow"

"What did you do?"

"I printed it in printer blue, I hope the T.A. doesn't care"

printer monkey 

derogatory term for IT employees who think too highly of themselves
That Tony guy over in IT acts like he's God because he un-jams the Xerox every other day...I could do that printer monkey's job. I know how to use Google too.

If that printer monkey asks me if I restarted my laptop one more time I'm going to strangle him with my 5 ft USB cable.
