HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors

"Never own a printer again."

@arstechnica Counterpoint:
I pay HP $4.31/ month for ink & the printer just works. That's $51.72 per year. When I was buying cartridges they would die & weirdly fade out. Any time I bought ink that way it was ~$20 - $40+ every time & I did that a few times a year. On the financial side I think HP Instant Ink subscription is way better! And I could go to a cheaper plan if I printed less.

On the monitoring side - I think it's way less creepy than a Ring doorbell, or Alexa or Google anything!
