![]() This is walking on some very shaky legal ground, IMHO. ![]() UPDATE: HP will not only block the Instant Ink print cartridge from working should they the user remain offline, they will continue to charge the user for a service that can no longer be used because HP has disabled it. Buy your ink locally and retain ownership of the printer that you paid for. This sham of a program evidently turns the printer that your mom, friend, client, etc bought into HP's printer. What I do NOT understand is HP telling a customer that HP will BLOCK them from printing on their own printer should the customer not be able (or just choose not) to connect the printer that they bought and paid for (and should be able to do whatever the hell they want with) to the internet for HP to monitor.ĭO NOT allow anyone that you care about to sign up for HP's Instant Ink program. I wouldn't like that either, because this Instant Ink program takes the printer that you have already paid for and turns it into nothing more than a pay-per-copy copier like you see in a lot of small businesses, but I would understand not shipping the ink. I would get it if HP just refused to send her any more ink cartridges until they could verify that she needed them and could check out how much she has printed. It seems that (according to the above message) HP has now taken ownership of her printer and will BLOCK printing from said printer if she does not connect it to the internet for them to monitor and control. When I get there I see the message above on her printer. ![]() Her HP printer has lost its connection to the WiFi at her house and she needs help to get it back on the network so she can print. I get a call from a friend of my mother's today. ![]()
