Today's inkjet printers charge mandatory subscriptions and lock you to their supplies? If so, much has changed since I owned one. I know they always scare you into buying their things, but never locked you into it. My HP laser (not inkjet) printer will happily accept third party toner cartridges.

I guess you're not aware HP has been doing this for a few years now?

Obviously not. Wow, that sucks. Thankfully my HP laser printer doesn't.
Yeah, hang on to that thing. Pass it down to your grandkids, etc. :D

I wish I was joking... ;)
