Here's the pitch: HP will sell you a printer that *you don't own*. In addition to paying a monthly fee for your ink - which you pay no matter whether you print or not - you will also pay a monthly fee just for having HP's printer on your premises. You are absolutely, positively forbidden from using third-party ink in this printer, and must use HP's own ink, which sells for about $10,000/gallon.
