I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.
The printer business is tantamount to the gangster era. Fucking thieves.

I don't get how this is legal, and my guess is that it isn't in EU and many other countries that aren't USA.
Anyone ever heard one of these stories from EU?

Welcome to the future you now have to pay a sub or learn how to jail break your printer to get full use of it owner ship is almost dead folks time to break up big printer so you can refill your ink cartridges and print without a subscription
My last ever hp printer went in the e waste skip last week for a similar reason.
I just bought a Brother laser printer for my dad, because he needed help changing the ink cartridges, after having printed maybe 8 pages in ½ a year. It's just too stupid to use ink printers today, no matter if you print a little or a lot.
I'm guessing the laser cartridge will last my dad a decade. lol

debit card on file had expired
How do you input your credit card into the printer? Or is this some printer-lease-contract situation?

Tankie bullshit! Obviously competition will mean corporations will act benevolently.
It very likely is tied to the firmware that bricked HPs around the world in May or so. HP is silent on it and customer service isn't acknowledging the issue.
…I’ve somehow lived this long without realizing that HP printers apparently need subscriptions to run now.
