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.

    I’m not sure there’s another term for “sold well” that doesn’t also imply people liked it.

    Alternatively they could just be calling them plebeian.

      Pretty sure lots of things people are forced to use due to poor competition “sell well” while also being quite un-popular.
