> You are paying for prints, not ink > I never have to buy ink You are buying ink, since you're not just sending documents/images/etc. off for some company to print on their hardware with their ink and their paper, you're getting ink in vendor-locked cartridges which you can only print while within their arbitrary "no. of pages" metric. Also, you bought the printer, you buy the actual pages of paper, the subscription is called "Instant INK" and [1] literally says: > To enroll in HP Instant Ink you need to have an eligible printer, which tells us when you're low on ink or toner and orders it for you. (emphasis mine) Additionally their "plans" table in the FAQs of [1] makes clear that "unused" pages that you supposedly paid for with your subscription are limited in how many roll over each month, essentially invalidating a number of your "purchased" pages if you don't print as often as they would like you to.
