You May Get Forced Into a Monthly Subcription
This printer is pretty good. It prints well, it can print quietly, and you can connect it to WiFi for wireless printing. My whole issue with not just this printer but with HP is that you’re forced into a monthly subscription once you buy the printer. It will force you to choose a monthly subscription that allows you to print a certain amount of pages. So if you’re a student or you have a job that has you printing a lot of documents, get bent because HP will charge you for those pages. They will give you 15 free pages to print per month and once you go over that they charge you immediately $1.00 per set plus tax. And I know, $1 isn’t that big of a deal. But the whole point of me buying a printer, buying the ink, and buying the god damn paper is so that I didn’t have to pay for printing! If I wanted to pay to print my documents I would have gone to a LIBRARY! At least it would be the only thing I’m paying for and not everything else. It completely misses the whole point of me having a home printer!
The reason I’m giving this printer 1 star is because that monthly subscription to print my documents makes me so upset and angry. I’m buying the ink! I’m buying the paper! I’m not getting any bootlegged version of ink because I don’t want to risk my printer’s colors getting messed up. Why do I have to pay a subscription to print my own stuff?? Why do I have to pay more??? I hate it. I hate it so much and as good as this printer is, once I’m done with it I’m just going to find a printer from a company that isn’t trying to squeeze more money out of me.
If you don’t print a lot of stuff and can handle the 15 page limit then go ahead and get this printer I guess. If not then be prepared to pay more money to print you’re own documents.
