From the left seat, piece of cake. From the right seat, it was an embarrassing Gordian Knot of confusion.

At Yellow, you were not to be signed off on OE unless and until you'd successfully reloaded the printer from the FO seat.
 
The CKA wouldn’t sign me off until I could do it in under a minute. Alright two…. Well, he was kidding but it ain’t hard. Finesse, not mongo smash, just like most fifi things.
 
I recently had to jumpseat on the 737 and was amazed that it spits out 8x11 sheets of paper and that there's a VERY specific way to tear it off without ripping the information to shreds.

All of our printers at Purple are that way. It's different, thicker kind of paper than I've ever seen. I could never "tear" the paper from the right seat of the MD without ripping it, due to the weird angle the printer was installed at (exit facing the Captain). I always had to slew it to the perforation and tear it there. The 767 printer sits like the one in the 737 and I can get a good angle without having to slew it - which is good, since tech-cedure states that we print way more stuff on this fleet than we did in the MD.

What company was that? At the Eskimo hula girl Guppy place we have a four inch wide kinda strip of paper that prints forward

The One with the Eagle that can't decide if it wants to be a legacy or LCC. It printed down and back (toward the jumpseat) which is why I was delegated the task of tearing off the paper. I told them I was an Airbus guy when I asked for the ride, I didn't mention our printer was far superior because I didn't know there was a photocopier buried in the 737 console. It still printed off a roll, but man, if you could have seen the look on my face, trying to contain my laughter when I saw it.
