Same here, have a Brother printer that just printed and scanned. did nothing else and did not complain for years. Had the minimum features but that's exactly what I need it for.

I guess HP think they have a monopoly somehow for them engage in stuff like this? Except they don't.

They learned from watching Brother that you can't make any recurring revenue off your printer working without complaint for a decade.

Yes except people could just ditch HP and buy a Brother. It's not like printers are too expensive to replace.
