Most of the people buying these printers don't know at the time of sale they're getting stuck in a subscription service system.

the signing up for an account and needing to give a payment method isn't enough? hp even warns you that the requisite automatic firmware updates will disable the ability to use 'non genuine' consumables with the printer.
