Our new office photocopier/printer/scanner emits a triumphal 3 note fanfare whenever it prints something out.
[b][i]I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE PRINTED. I PRESSED THE ****ING PRINT BUTTON.[/i][/b]
Dah-Duh-Daaa!
If I could be arsed (and was strong enough to pick it up) I would throw it out of the window.
I would throw it out of the window.
or you could no doubt go into the settings menu and turn off the Dah-Duh-Daaa?
Leave the poor thing alone. It's probably got one of those Sirius Cybernetics personality chips in it, and is just expressing uncontained joy at helping you in the only way it knows how.
We've tried to find the "Dah-Duh-Daaa!" disable button... There isn't one on any of the menus that we have access to. Also the speaker is covered so we can't stab it with a pen.
It is like sharing an office with Talkie the Toaster

Maybe it has greater aspirations than just printing, like the talking toaster from Red Dwarf. Have you thought about giving it some filing / light secretarial work to keep it happy?
EDIT - beat me to it. Damn.
Dah-Duh-Daaa!
[b][u]HIM WILL DO IT!!![/u][/b]

It will be getting a lesson in parachuting soon.
It may stuggle with the heels together bend the knees bit.
Have you seen The Thick Of It?
Be inspired by the scene at the end where Jamie smashes up the fax machine.
Captain Chaos!
[b]"I am confident that we will be triumphant!"[/b] is a bit of a catch phrase with my mates.
LOL at Talkie Toaster, was going to post the same.

I like this thread generally, but this bit made me snuffle through my nose with mirth. 🙂
Spray foam insulation through whatever hole it talks through. Something will happen.
[i]Also the speaker is covered so we can't stab it with a pen.[/i]
Bet you can get an unfolded paper clip through there though. Please turn off the power first. 🙂

Turn down the volume button STOOPID
we have a fanfare and high-fives all round if our printer gets 2 pages out without jamming
Enfht... Do you think that we haven't looked? 🙄
I would love that on our colour printer/copier, to stop everyone using it all the time because its expensive, you have to enter an 8 digit password for the project your working on, only problem is it doesn't tell you if you get it wrong but it does tell you its printed. Then you get to the printer and nothing there... I'd love a Dah-Duh-Daaa!
Er that was a joke, please tell me you didnt actually look for a volume button on a printer ?! 😆
Gimme the make and model of the printer
You know where the speaker is? Screwdriver / wire cutters.
It's a Crapolla Industries T-1000 Talkie Copier.
I'm becomming quite fond of it now. Somebody printed something and it didn't sing a little song. I went over to check that it was OK.
Also, I used to think that Cyan Tonerlow played for the All Blacks.
