HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors::"Never own a printer again."

Unfortunately HP isn't going anywhere. They have a lot of government contracts and likely a ton more with commercial businesses to supply hardware.

I imagine us peons at the home use level don't really show up on their radar when it comes to making these decisions.

can confirm, when I used to work for a government contractor, everything was HP. From laptops to servers, from mice to printers.
