I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    …I’ve somehow lived this long without realizing that HP printers apparently need subscriptions to run now.

      Most don’t. There is a subscription service where you get ink every quarter automatically and you can’t skip shipments, but you have to choose that. Otherwise, most businesses have leased copy machines and printers for a long time now. Outsourcing maintenance can save money and simplify office administration.

      My HP only works when I don’t need it anymore. It’s always doing shit when I want to orint something. It takes forever and then i just give up…

      Same, I’ve just been using a really old HP Deskjet that has no external display, can’t connect to the internet and only prints (doesn’t scan)
