Printer

In computers, a printer is a device that accepts text and graphic output from a computer and transfers the information to paper, usually to standard size sheets of paper. Printers are sometimes sold with computers, but more frequently are purchased separately. Printers vary in size, speed, sophistication, and cost. In general, more expensive printers are used for higher-resolution color 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.

Printer Zone

The point in trying to solve printer problems where you loose your mind.

Did you see John? He has been working on that printer for over an hour. I think he has entered printer zone. I would stay away from for a while.

printer-fodder

Unnecessary articles, documents, or other materials printed solely for the purpose of being left on the printer to be observed by peers or co-workers.

Worker 1: "Wow, who printed this 40 page article on particle-physics? Someone is really operating on an advanced degree!"
Worker 2: "Don't believe the hype. Nick printed this two days ago and left it just so the boss would see and think he's smart. It's printer-fodder, he's not actually going to read it."

Printer scene

In the movie Office Space, there is a scene where cubicle workers steal the printer from their office and take it out into a field. There, they beat the printer to smithereens using baseball bats and their fists. The "Printer scene" is used among office workers as a fantasy of what they want to be real. It is a term that people who feel locked-up by their jobs use.

If only the printer scene was happening right now.
