From Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003) [jargon]:

  PEBKAC
   /peb'kak/
  
     [Abbrev., "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair"] Used by
     support people, particularly at call centers and help desks. Not
used
     with the public. Denotes pilot error as the cause of the crash,
     especially stupid errors that even a {luser} could figure out. Very
     derogatory. Usage: "Did you ever figure out why that guy couldn't
     print?" "Yeah, he kept cancelling the operation before it could
     finish. PEBKAC". See also {ID10T}. Compare {pilot error}, {UBD}.
