Yeah, if it was just a subscription and you could halt it but still use what you paid for it would be fine, but they shut off access as soon as you halt your subscription. people have full ink they can't use. For that reason I will never buy HP printers. ironically this week HP auto insalled an HP printer Assistant app on my workstation, and I don't have am HP printer. So that got deleted immediately along with all HP support and driver tools.
