I thought I couldn't hate HP printers any more than I currently do, but HP's CEO gave me a new reason to hate them.

"Our long-term objective is to make printing a subscription."

Bricking printers when they detect third-party ink, and trying to turn printing from your own printer into a subscription service. What does the customer stand to gain from any of this? Nothing.

@LadyMarth01 Well, it's time to use other brands which haven't embraced scummy ideas. I will protest with my wallet and words!

@LadyMarth01 I am slowly shedding all my subscriptions. It’s not until you add them all up you realise how much it costs you!

I also used to work for HP and…yeah. Things haven’t got any better.
