So the subscription is to use the ink cartridges that you already paid for with a purchasing subscription?? Sorry, not trying to be obtuse but that’s just.. I’m speechless.

Yeah that's exactly it. And when you stop paying you can no longer print and your printer is just an ornament until you go and buy cartridges separately.

Unbelievable. Thanks for sticking with me. I just couldn’t imagine such gluttony. I should know better by now.

No problem. Yeah it's hard to believe. I just double checked what I was saying and it looks like HP actually cancelled the programme recently. I suspect they did that after they starting appearing in the mainstream media and people started gathering pitchforks... www.pcworld.com/article/2390...

Ugh yeah. I'd avoid any company that uses those tactics. The choices are diminishing though, fewer and fewer companies that are on *your* side. The inability to buy a non-smart TV really bothers me too.
