Took me 3 hours to fix a layer shift on my plotter

I was running a batch of floor plans last Wednesday and my plotter started shifting every print by about a quarter inch. Thought it was a driver issue so I reinstalled everything. Nope. Then I checked the paper feed rollers and found a tiny piece of tape stuck on one of them. Must have been from a previous roll of media. That little scrap cost me 3 hours of troubleshooting. Has anyone else had a weird thing jam up your plotter like that?

I mean, is a layer shift really worth 3 hours of your life?

That little piece of tape story changed my mind about giving up too fast...
