Hi @dpaintem, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

I understand your frustration. HP has implemented a requirement for users to create an HP account and provide payment information for certain printer models. This is often linked to their HP+ and Instant Ink programs, which offer benefits like automatic ink delivery. 

Here are a few reasons why HP might require this:

Subscription Services: HP+ and Instant Ink are subscription-based services that require an account to manage ink deliveries and billing.
Enhanced Support: Creating an account allows HP to provide personalized support and manage your printer's warranty and software updates more efficiently.
Security and Updates: An account helps HP ensure your printer is secure and up-to-date with the latest firmware and software.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
