At Yellow, you were not to be signed off on OE unless and until you'd successfully reloaded the printer from the FO seat.

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

Unless you have the newest latest greatest printer that prints some things in font size 1

Is that the memo we got about a new printer? I read it and was like “aww bless. Who got paid to say so little”

AA and Continental/United had the big A4 sheet printers.

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.

BPA and BPS in thermal paper
Thermal paper is thin with a slick feel or sheen finish and discolors easily when scratched.

It goes back and forth depending on the left seater here at AA in the Bus fleet. Some folks print everything (some still print full paper releases on dot matrix
) some print the ATIS and most just use the iPad unless the Wifi de Fifi is down.

Still only prints on half the page!
Between the 737, the MD and the 767, I've gotten really good and ACARS-gami: the ancient art of folding printer messages.

I got on a plane with the printer power light written up. There was no power light installed on that model. Trying to explain that to the mechanics in Incheon was fun.

Here so I don’t get fined
Two airlines ago I saw a write up that was "printer toner low", with the mx corrective action. "Ops check normal. Confirmed printer does not use toner and never did."

Try watching a captain do that on a pacific crossing (for the destination, alternate, and etops alternates) and then telling the 2 FOs to keep hourly copies for him to review when he came back from break.
