minus-squareDarkassassin07@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoYup, a subscription that sends you ink and paper as needed (printer reports you need ink soon, sends an order automatically) Some are even billed per-page printed. If you cancel or remove your payment method: the ink you currently have stops working.
