WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T GET IT! A local woman has unknowingly continued generational trauma cycle as she finds herself grappling with her parents printer today.

Why her parents have a printer when they hardly print anything, she doesn’t know. But what she does know, is that they are now making it her problem

Having had the magic touch for all their other technological problems, Mandy Nolan, 35 has always drawn the line at fixing printers, which seem to be just as bad as they were ten years ago.

But her parents insist they need help – and now! Which is why Mandy finds herself acting exactly like her dad did teaching her long division in high school.

Or how the maths tables have turned.

“Okay so you can see the printer’s name?”, she’d asked, as her dad whirled the mouse of the computer wildly around the screen for some reason, “it should be Nikon.”

“Where do I find that?”

“When you go to print it should be there in a drop down menu.”

“What’s a drop down menu? Here?”, he asked, clicking the page setup button.

“No, PRINT dad! You’ve printed before haven’t you?”

“Yes! Okay it’s saying it can’t find the printer.”

Taking over, Mandy points out that he’s selected the old canon printer from two years ago.

“Okay well now this Nikko isn’t working. It’s saying there’s no paper.”

Her dad looks pointedly at her, like he’s unsure what to do next.

“…Dad, you need to put paper in it. Where is it?”

“I don’t know where it is, ask your mother.”

“FOR FUCK’S SAKE DAD.”

More to come.
