desktop computing, tape storage, and printing problems.
Active Chat enables you to electronically submit a support ticket to HP over the Web. When you submit
a support ticket, Active Chat collects information about the computer and pass it to an online support
specialist. The collection of information might take up to 30 seconds depending on the computer
configuration. When you submit a support ticket, you receive a confirmation message containing your
case ID, the support hours for your location, and the estimated time of response.
