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

    You can still purchase your own HP ink cartridges, it’s only the optional subscription cartridges that require an ongoing payment.

    Whether it’s good value is an exercise for each individual, but the monthly costs usually work out less than buying them outright, unless you’re an exceptionally low user and can stretch a set of retail carts over two years (without them drying up)

      If cancelling an ink subscription disables your printer, then you don’t own that printer.

        It doesn’t disable the printer, it disables the cartridges. You can still use your own.

          If you can’t use the ink you paid for, then you don’t own that ink either

            No, you don’t own it until you use it. That’s why you don’t pay for the cartridges.
