HP laser printers are not on the subscription model? I sought out a Brother laser printer specifically due to several bad experiences with lockout on HP printers.
If you go to Amazon and look up Brother laser printers you'll see that most of those now also come with subscription plans called "Refresh", so, you can't win.
Also, the exercise equipment they sell don't require an internet account for basic functionality, and I believe this goes for the TVs sold at Costco as well.
