<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Too bad you had such a bad experience, Ted. I’ve been using the HP ink service with my HP Office Jet Pro All-in-one 9015 since Dec. 2020. They charge my credit card once a month for pages printed. They
send me ink cartridges when the printer tells them they are needed. Interestingly, the print cartridges I get with the service last much longer than the ones I used to buy for a previous HP printer. I am spending less on the ink service than I used to spend
buying cartridges.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I did not get the paper service.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have the “moderate” monthly plan, 100 pages per month. I just now noticed that they raised the price starting this month from $6.99 to $7.99. Unused pages are rolled over to the next month. Extra pages
beyond the 100 and after any rollovers cost $1.50 for each additional 10. My wife and I tend to use most of or all the 100 pages when we’re not traveling, but we don’t go enough over to justify paying for a “frequent” plan with 300 pages.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">When selecting an all-in-one printer I looked for one that could print double-sided, print color as well as black-and-white, and scan a stack of double-sided documents. I’ve been quite satisfied with this
printer for printing, scanning, and copying. It hasn’t broken once in the almost 4 ½ years I’ve had it and I’ve never had a billing problem with the ink plan.
