I have an HP colour laser printer MFP just small home one. HP changed something a few years ago forcing people to log in to use their printer. I can't recall what happened but I was able to find a workaround or HP changed or cancelled that demand. I think the problem as stated in comments is money obviously. But it's the loss of the home market. The "desktop publishing" craze is gone and now it's older people who have printers. That's a big loss of revenue. Printers at home seem to be alien to anyone under the age of 40.
