Maybe the instructions weren't clear enough OR bold enough, OR were too hard to read.

Good point. End users need stuff spelt out to them. Perhaps giving an example password - but then you would get hundreds of end users with the same password
Wow, how old is that printer? My 5 year old Dell, turns itself on when a print job is sent through.
I remember once, I was troublshooting my PC - there was no sound. I pulled out all the cables, switched everything around, plugged the speakers into a another computer. After about 2.5 hours of messing around, I found that the speakers where muted
Since then, that is the FIRST thing I check when people complain of sound problems.
This I think suits the situation perfectly:

As an aside, I got myself a Deskjet that same year, shortly before my dissertation was due in, as I couldn't face nursing the old dot matrix through one page at a time. The DOS drivers and software for it were surprisingly good...
