I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.
Meanwhile my laser Kyocera prints full color full duplex and doesn't try any funny business.

It very likely is tied to the firmware that bricked HPs around the world in May or so. HP is silent on it and customer service isn't acknowledging the issue.
Can you homebrew a printer? Maybe fake responses to phone-homes?
You probably can
Welcome to the future you now have to pay a sub or learn how to jail break your printer to get full use of it owner ship is almost dead folks time to break up big printer so you can refill your ink cartridges and print without a subscription
…I’ve somehow lived this long without realizing that HP printers apparently need subscriptions to run now.

Tankie bullshit! Obviously competition will mean corporations will act benevolently.
I just bought a Brother laser printer for my dad, because he needed help changing the ink cartridges, after having printed maybe 8 pages in ½ a year. It's just too stupid to use ink printers today, no matter if you print a little or a lot.
I'm guessing the laser cartridge will last my dad a decade. lol

This is only supposed to happen if you stop paying for Instant Ink. Buying a new cartridge should still work. I'd take the printer back to the shop you bought it from and tell them its broken.
I was so sad to find out that Samsung pulled out of the printer business a few years back. I've had a Samsung color laser (it's actually LED, but it looks like any other laser printer) for over 10 years and it has been nearly flawless all this time. I don't print a ton and on an ink jet printer, then cartridges would have dried out between the few times I would actually need to print something. Then you'd waste like 1/2 the ink just to unclog it and realign everything. But this Samsung just doesn't skip a beat if I let it sit for 3 months - it fires right up if I need something. And unlike HP's offerings, the drivers for this printer aren't like 2 GBs in size with a ton of bloatware.
Brother is still a good contender here for laser printing - I've had a new color laser from Brother for a year or so and I've had zero problems with getting it to work on Linux, the toner is cheap, and the print quality is great.
Won't give HP and Canon another dime so long as Brother is quality.

I got a printer where I fill up the ink tank myself. Fuck all these other printers.

I don't print a lot but wife prints every receipt which end up in the trash
