On: HP Tries Desperately to Make 'Printer as a Subscription' a Thing

[jtbayly]

The odd thing is that this is how companies actually often operate with larger printers/copiers.

Edit: So apparently some group of people wants this, or has been hoodwinked into it.

It can make sense for a company where you know the printers will be used regularly and heavily and thus will also be subject to a lot of wear and tear, plus the pricing the big players offer can be pretty decent.
