Expected: I cancelled our subscription with HP and they blocked us from being able to use the rest of the ink in our cartridge. (younsfw.com)

I had to buy a printer recently. I intentionally went through all the information i could to find out which manufacturers pull this trick and bought their competitor instead.

Can you share what competitor you bought and some of your findings?

Hold up, HP printers don't let you SCAN without ink? You can make up some believable bs argument about why DRM ink is necessary, but there's no way you can convince anyone that scanning needs ink.
