The “e” is enhanced for security and advanced instant ink features that the M234sdw does not have
I would not necessarily consider these selling points. The "enhanced security" is what allowed this debacle to happen in the first place. And I would recommend doing more research on the instant ink "features" to understand exactly what it entails. I made the mistake of getting an "e" model (i.e., HP+) without fully understanding what it means. Never again!
