The answer was technically correct but rudely expressed, and further, it
was less than helpful. Yes, someone should speak to the tech support person
to encourage him or her to use more acceptable modes of expression. The
message sounded rushed. "I've got to give you some kind of answer right now
because I've got twenty more issues to deal with before close today and my
rideshare is waiting outside, and I don't know anything better to say." It
comes off as "you aren't that important, fix your own problem."

Right. It does not hurt to try Protel support, but you are much more likely
to get good support on an issue like that here. Ultimately, however, the
problem may be so difficult that the best solution is, as others suggested,
including Protel support:
"recommend using another printer."
Not necessarily permanently, but with a fresh printer and fresh printer
driver, if it works, one will have ruled out certain possible causes, and
if it does not work, one will have ruled out different possible causes. And
there is much more that could be said.
For a question like this, there should be a good canned answer that could
be personalized by the technician. But Protel is still a relatively small
company, I can understand that every procedure has not been polished.
Further, everyone makes mistakes and has bad days.
