Issues vs problems

Why is it that where there used to be problems there are now issues? You never hear the word "problem" anymore. When I called the customer support line of the manufacturer of my printer they asked me "Are you having *issues* with your printer?" And I said no, the d__n thing doesn't work - that's not at issue at all."

Is the word "issue" more PC? Does it sound nicer to say you have an issue rather than a problem? Does it mean something different to say one has weight issues rather than a weight problem? When your car doesn't start, do you have an issue with it? When would you use the word "issue" and not the word "problem"?

Thanks.

Seems like you have an issue with that.

Sorry. Someone, but you had to know that someone was going to say that.

Sometimes I might have an issue with someone or something, but it isn't a problem. I probably can't put it in words correctly what I'm talking about. But sometimes issues aren't a big deal, they are just issues. But sometimes when you have a problem with someone, you should call it what it is and not sugar coat it with semantics. "No witch, I don't have "issues", I have a problem with you!". :)
