    But half of their modern printers require a monthly paid subscription to even function. They need to stop doing that.

        They did.

        They now rent them through a monthly paid subscription.

      The ink plan isn’t required, you can still use regular cartridges.

        But they do require you create an account and register the printer before it will function with their newer consumer printers.
