Help! My printer won't print no matter how much I shout at it!

My wife's answer to no printout immediately emerging from our home printer seems to be to just try printing it again, then repeat 10 times, then give up. When I eventually want to print something myself, and find the paper either jammed or run out, after fixing the issue I then have to either wait it out for her stuff to print out, or battle through the cryptic menus displayed on a scrolling 10 character display on the top of the printer, on top of a cabinet, such that I have to get a chair to stand on to read the thing, in order to cancel her print jobs. Even when it does print out successfully for her, 50% of the time she never bothers to pick up the paper, as she'd only printed it "just in case she needed it". I'm eagerly waiting for the paperless office to actually happen.

AC, as she also has anger issues :)
