Paper Barf

A printer malfunction in which multiple pages of gibberish are produced instead of the expected document.

The printer spits out page after page of undecipherable symbols at maximum speed, giving the impression that it's had far, far too many drinks at the party.

Use:

Buddy: "Where's the document I printed? It's just pages of random gibberish."

Paul: "Looks like it just paper barfed."
