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.

    If they also provided the paper, this is definitely something I could see them doing. They’d own the consumables at that point, and could probably take in some good money being able to tell advertisers exactly how many copies were delivered.

    Fax spam is surprisingly still a thing, leave it to HP to bring it into the 21st century.
