HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors (arstechnica.com)

HP launched a subscription service today that rents people a printer, allots them a specific amount of printed pages, and sends them ink for a monthly fee. HP is framing its service as a way to simplify printing for families and small businesses, but the deal also comes with monitoring and a years-long commitment.

TBH: If it's absolutely necessary, I'd just print something at work or at my friends'/family's house.
