Over the holidays my parents asked me for help with their printer. Turns out their printer had disconnected from wifi so it couldn't reach the subscription verification web service. Their desktop app could connect to their webservice and the printer but evidently that isn't good enough. It actually made me stop and think about starting a printer company, until I remembered Brother exists and isn't garbage yet. But even they have started a print rental service. :(
