    I bet you it sends them the printer data so they can use it to train AI. It’s all in the ToC

      The article literally says they sell your data to advertising partners. You’re paying a monthly subscription to give away your personal data for something as basic as a fucking printer. If HP doesn’t die my hope in humanity will be gone.

        Unfortunately HP isn’t going anywhere. They have a lot of government contracts and likely a ton more with commercial businesses to supply hardware.

        I imagine us peons at the home use level don’t really show up on their radar when it comes to making these decisions.

          can confirm, when I used to work for a government contractor, everything was HP. From laptops to servers, from mice to printers.
