Enrolling this printer at setup commits it to the manufacturer’s own ink or toner for the life of the machine, enforced in firmware. Source: HP's own HP+ programme page, which lists “Original HP Ink Cartridges — Required to operate”.

The step up from the 9125e buys three ISO pages a minute in black and two in colour, a second 250-sheet tray, a 4.3-inch touchscreen in place of the 2.7-inch one, and a feeder that scans both sides of a page in one pass where the 9125e's takes two. The rest is shared: the same 936e cartridge family, fax, Ethernet, duplex printing, borderless photo printing up to letter, and the same HP+ enrolment with its Original-HP-supplies-for-life condition. At roughly 3.8 cents a mono page it remains an expensive printer to feed compared with any tank machine in this catalogue; the extra money buys speed and paper capacity, not economy.
