Head cleaning is a legit necessity with inkjets, and avoiding clogging is probably why it doesn't power off fully. Of course that doesn't negate all the other scams, like the cost of ink or the refusal to work with third party ink, print b&w without a color cartridge, scan without ink, etc etc... New low-cost HP printers come with a vendor-locked ink-as-a-service scheme (no I am not making this up) you can't opt out from. I bought a b&w duplex laser printer and use it with non-genuine toners. If you enjoy reading from paper its a good investment imho.
