That is a design feature that ensures you are up to date with the latest cheap low durability plastic rubbish.

I have an HP Color (Colour as far as I am concerned) LaserJet CP1515n which works very well on the two occasions a year that I actually need to print something. Everything else gets PDFed. The cartridges are of course more expensive than the printer.
