Over helpful HP

I'm trying to save electricity and the planet by avoiding standby mode for our electrical devices as much as possible. This is working fine and I feel good about the small step I am taking towards a greener future but almost all the good feelings are wasted by the messages from HP Solution Center (sic) giving me helpful advice on solving my "printer offline" problem.  I KNOW IT'S OFFLINE.  I TURNED IT OFF.  I'M SAVING THE PLANET AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS ANNOY ME WITH FACILE MESSAGES.

I really am turning into a grumpy old man.
