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.

      They are popular since they cost less than non internet version. This is them removing the internet/subscription version that they were tricking people with.

      They’re just calling it popular so that that one guy - you know, Craig? - that one guy who likes it will blame other people instead of HP themselves.
