This is generally for a business lease contract with HP. I’ve never seen this done to a printer the person buys outright, only for contracted leased “pay-per-use” printers.
HP does an ink subscription thing. They will try to trick you into it, too, so I’m sure lots of people sign up without realizing just by trying to use their printer software. Anyway, that ink stops working if you stop paying.
Yeah I looked into it, some models require the HP+ subscription to work. That’s only on some of their loss leader models but still misleading, so that’s still shitty
Yes. Co-worker got a super cheap printer, and then tried to cancel the ink subscription. turns out he couldn’t just buy ink from them, and his printer was useless.

They come with a cartridge and “six months free ink” if you register.
But if you register and then six months later realize you never use it and you cancel…
They lock the cartridge
