The printer reports to HP how many pages have been printed and the ink levels. The Instant Ink ink cartridges are apparently chipped so they won't print on printers that aren't registered to the Instant Ink program. It might be a dollar or two but I figure if I paid $5 a year on extra pages, that's fine. If you print more Instant Ink will charge a credit card on file.

Toward the end of my first set of full-size ink cartridges, I decided to try the HP Instant Ink subscription plan at the free tier (15 pages per month, no rollover). I was okay with consumer quality at a consumer price. Based on my infrequent usage, I didn't want to shell out three hundred bucks on a better MFP. A B&W laser printer wasn't a consideration I needed something with a flatbed scanner function. I figured they would last me a while since I didn't plan on printing much so I had time to source reasonably priced replacement cartridges (which I found on sale at Amazon).
In 2018 I bought an HP OfficeJet 3830 inkjet MPF at or slightly below the $80 MSRP which came with the usual stingy starter cartridges.
Unfortunately the OP did not describe the "little old lady's" usage case for the printer: how many pages she prints, B&W or color, premium photo paper, etc.
As usual it depends on the individual usage case.
