Pro life tip.

  1. Buy a printer that accepts off-brand cartridges.
  2. Buy off-brand cartridges in bulk for further discounts (I buy 12-packs of 'Hicorch' cartridges for my Epson Stylus)
  3. Relax never having to worry about running out of ink.

  1. Don't update the printer that might put DRM in after the fact.

Keep it far away from the internet.

Now for an idea time. Printer with WiFi that auto-connects to unsecured networks (read "public") to install updates for user's convenience. Or, the drivers could proxy host's connection. Or, download the update to host in advance, then auto-update by pushing to the printer when connected, even offline. Or, build an LTE modem into the printer.

Ink is for chumps. Real chads buy toner.

Better pro-life tip.

1)Buy a laser printer instead of inkjet and never worry about ink again.

That's it. That's the only step.

Or an ink tank printer. Way cheaper.
