Expected: I cancelled our subscription with HP and they blocked us from being able to use the rest of the ink in our cartridge. - eviltoast

    The problem I have with it is that HP also bricks third party ink. Basically they bought a printer that’s useless without a subscription fee. I don’t think that’s right.

      I’m not saying it’s a good thing… but they agreed to that. You can’t first agree to bullshit, and then complain that it’s bullshit ._.

        I fully agree with you and decided to post that to give your downvoters an additional downwards-arrow to demonstrate even more that they don’t read the EULA nor TOS before agreeing :-)

      This would be why I simply wouldn’t purchase one of those printers.

      Not trying to be a dick here, but it’s not like any of this is a secret. If you’re dropping a non-trivial amount of money on a printer, and additionally signing up for a subscription to boot, is it not prudent to actually learn about what you’re buying?
