DO NOT FUCKING BUY HP DESKJET PRINTERS

THEY FUCKING SUCK

THEIR APP SUCKS

THEIR SIGN-INS SUCK

THEY ARE NOT USER FRIENDLY

HP CAN SUCK MY FAT ONE

The quiet shift from buying to subscribing There was a time when buying something meant owning it outright. You paid once, took it home, used it until it wore out, then replaced it on your own terms. That model defined consumer culture for most of the twentieth century. Today, it has been steadily replaced by something far more restrictive. Across industries, from software and entertainment to…

Got two HP computers on the table, same model, one belongs to work, the other belongs to me. Got an HP printer. The set of 3 connected via wifi.

When I bought the printer in 2022 they splashed the offer for Instant Ink on every view. Weirdly based on page count? {Ebay vendor for ink to match prior printer ghosted me. Note: ink comes with a chip, printer only works with verified HP.} I got the 100 page plan [shit ton of tax forms in January] for $6 a month. They ship when they feel like it. They felt like it often enough. Price went to $7.

The gorram printer never wanted to print. Offline. Not found. Not default. Not logged in. No network. Lube sprayed on the glass. Feed reluctant. I canceled Dec 13, 2024 and threw it in the trash. Jan 18, 2026 I get this on the work computer.

Huh. Pay $8 a month. Get printer & ink. Paper option. I don't want it, but gots to know.

HP All-In Plan. All Your Base Are Belong To Us. You rent the printer. The most cheap ass printer is $8 for 20 page count per month [even if you don't buy their paper]. $12 for 100 page. [ink serial number to be verified before printing]

Two and three year commitment. Now let's see what that means.

You pay a fee equal to the cost of the printer. You paid monthly. You are required to ship back the computer and all ink.
