    Literally helped my parents with this last night.

    Also, fuck windows for defaulting a setting I’d never seen before: “let windows manage my default printer”

    That’s why it wasn’t printing. What a fucking stupid idea.

      Ah, I see mom’s PC updated and it’s trying to print with the fucking “OneNote XPS” virtual printer again.

      Also I see the “OneNote XPS” printer I manually remove every month is back again.

        Gearing up for this tomorrow, every time I turn off automatic updates and uninstall a bunch of bullshit…every time it’s right back there.

      Not a terrible idea if there’s one printer plugged in. The idea isn’t bad, it’s Windows that’s bad.

        Before things like the XPS printer showed up, if there was only one printer anyway, it was the default. Pointless.
