Spent 4 hours fixing a printer error that was just a sticky piece of tape

Last Tuesday I was trying to print 50 shipping labels for an order rush at my warehouse job. The printer kept jamming every third page and giving a cryptic error code that wasn't in any manual. I spent 3 hours taking it apart, cleaning rollers, and swapping toner cartridges. Finally found a piece of clear tape from a previous label stuck inside the paper feed that I missed on the first look. Has anyone else wasted a whole shift on a problem that had a stupid simple fix?

Technically you cleaned the rollers for 3 hours, not 4.

I read somewhere that printer error codes are often just the machine telling you it is confused, not actually broken.
