HP has discontinued its e-series LaserJet printers following widespread consumer dissatisfaction with the printers’ mandatory online connection of the HP+ scheme.
The decision, reported by German media outlet §, addresses growing frustration among users who have been forced to maintain a constant internet connection and use HP original ink and toner, with cheaper and more accessible third-party alternatives prohibited.
The LaserJet e-series models, identifiable by an ‘e’ suffix in their models names, now look to have been pulled from sale.

Yeah, the title kind of contradicts itself.
I was expecting something in the article to back it up, like sales figures, but I couldn’t find anything.
I guess having a lot of unhappy customers implies that a lot of people previously purchased the product.
Very possible they sold well if people didn’t know about the requirement to be online.
