This is the kind of stuff the Defective by Design campaign [1], which opposes DRMs, has been warning us about. This particular DRM is designed to waste ink, because this ink you are prevented using is not going to be used by anyone. This ink has cost resources and human time to be produced, and is just going to be discarded for the sake of a making a subscription-based business model work. Which fundamentally makes it faulty. We already produce too much waste, we don't need to produce some voluntarily. This kind of practice is shameful and should be boycotted. I don't care for arguments like "yeah you didn't pay for printing so it's only fair you are prevented from doing it". While I could agree with this, the end result is more waste. HP should be forced to allow any ink it sends to be used completely. [1] https://www.defectivebydesign.org/ https://www.defectivebydesign.org/
