I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    I switched to one of the Epson EcoTanks after the HP Ink got super expensive (Over $150 to replace all 4 cartridges). Printer was $$$ but the ink in bottles ($15 a pop, Costco sells them all in a pack for $40) is cheap enough that for the in-frequent printing we do at home (My partner uses it more than me for making buttons and stuff)

        Do tell, I’m curious to learn more. Does it really matter if it knows how many pages you’ve printed? It’s not going to magically tell you you can’t print anymore when you can see that there’s still ink in there

          No it doesn’t care. You put the ink in, when it empties the printer stops. Ink is cheap, even official Epson. Worth the high upfront cost of the printer.

        Been running my ecotank for almost three years as my business printer. Burned though boxes of paper. Refilled black once. I’m not sure what you’re complaining about here?
