The only thing I know is that in my helpdesk time, I've had to resort to the "third button from the left, then the green one on the right"-mantra quite a lot... sometimes even with people who started the call with: "Hello, this is Dr. John Doe, PhD, from London." Normally one would think that people who have the intelligence *and* perseverance to obtain such a title (assuming they're not lying when calling) will be able to figure out how to use a new printer/copier, but not always.
In my day the first question asked was is it still plugged into the wall or is the printer attached by cable to the computer.
