Fun with tech support
so i was just chatting with hp tech support for almost an hour…and he couldn’t get past the fact that i had already done the troubleshooting and driver-finding that goes along with the problem i was having.  during that time i decided to re-try something my friend told me to do, and it worked.  i just ended the chat without another word.  thanks for nothing, hp.
