HP Smart Tank 7602
Fax is the difference between this and the 7301, and it is a seventy-dollar difference for a feature that shrinks in relevance every year — but the people who need it really need it, usually because a clinic, a school district or a county office still insists on it. Everything else is carried over intact: the 250-sheet cassette, the 35-sheet feeder, automatic duplex, Ethernet, the 2.7-inch touchscreen and 15 ISO pages a minute. The ink is the same 32XL and 31 bottle set that makes the whole Smart Tank line cheap to run, and like the rest of that line it is sold outside HP+, so third-party bottles are not blocked. If fax is not on your list, buy the 7301 and keep the money.
