But half of their modern printers require a monthly paid subscription to even function. They need to stop doing that.
Hang on, I've had the same Brother laser printer for 10 years. Are you telling me there are for real subscription services for printers now?
There have always been for all brands, but they are usually part of a leasing contract for businesses. The new thing is that HP is trying to trick consumers into similar contracts even though most have no need for it.
