Solved: a Pain in my Tuchus

I wanted to install an HP P2015dn printer on a computer running windows XP. This should be a matter of plugging in two cables . . . and it isn't. Judging from the complaints I found online, it is instead an exercise in frustration involving downloading, installing, and deleting various driver packages and the occasional defenstration of a printer. The stupid thing just WILL NOT install, no matter what. Fortunately for the world's IT departments, the solution has been posted at Brett and Cherish Jones' webpage. It takes less than a minute and totally fixes what should have been well and truly taken care of by an HP or Windows programmer many years ago, but they didn't do it right.

So thanks, Jones. You're a printersaver.
