In the US, if you print ~52(+) B&W pages a year, HP Instant Spyware is seemingly cheaper.

FedEx Kinko’s:

Non-EU- lett Packard:

For color, HP’s cheaper once you print two pages a month.

Printing is a good excuse to walk to the local print shop. Let’s say, though, you have to drive your Honda Civic a couple miles through Los Angeles - that adds roughly thirty cents of fuel (ignoring other vehicle costs). (That’s our bestselling car in our second largest city, because you wouldn’t give up your parking spot in NYC.)

Conventional wisdom is to buy a Brother laser printer, but there’s a bit of upfront cost for the color models, which are a little larger when comparing versions with scanners to inkjet all-in-ones. Who wants to do the math on those :)

…whoh they have their own subscription!

Anyway I think this is more like having a printing-press-barista in your closet instead of going to the print-barista down the street. It could be anywhere from 76 cents more expensive to $5.80 less expensive a month. Compare to a Mr. Coffee which you’ll pay off right away by skipping Starbucks.

tl;dr let HP siphon your data, what’s the worst that could happen? 😈
