I agree that paper jams are one of the most frequent problems, and something as simple as properly loading clean, dry paper can prevent a lot of frustration. Connection issues are also very common, especially in my office environment where our printers rely on network access. We check power, cables, and drivers which is always a strong first step. I am always talking to my coworker about garbled printouts, because many people don’t realize that incorrect or outdated drivers can cause that. Also vertical lines and maintenance are in fact important as well, since regular cleaning can extend the life of the printer. You follow a logical process where we are able to identify the issue, check the basics, and then move into more specific fixes; which is exactly how printer problems should be handled (at least in my opinion) in real world situations.
