Each one is an all-in-one printer scanner or photo printer with scanner, but the right pick changes depending on your office setup and budget.

Product Notes
HP Smart Tank Plus 651 Wireless All-in-One Ink Tank Printer Scanner Fax 7XV38A
At USD 169.99, this is the lowest-priced listing in the comparison. The product title says it is an all-in-one ink tank printer with fax, scanner, and copier, and the listed attributes add wireless connectivity and a 24-bit color depth. For a shopper who wants a new machine with fax and a practical price point, this listing is the easiest starting point. The description also says the box includes ink bottles, making it a tank-printer option rather than a cartridge model. The emphasis here is on fax, scanner, and copier functions rather than mobile print, so if mobile printing is a priority, another listing in this group highlights it.
HP Smart Tank 6001 All-in-One InkJet Printer, Color Mobile Print, Scan, Copy
Listed at USD 199.99, this new Smart Tank model is positioned around print, scan, copy, and wireless use. The title specifically calls out color mobile print, and the attributes include Wi-Fi Direct and Hi-Speed USB 2.0. As a new listing, it avoids the used-condition questions that apply to the PhotoSmart 7520. The trade-off is that its stated functions are print, scan, copy, and wireless, while the Smart Tank 7603 includes fax and ADF. If you do not need those extras, this listing gives you a middle price point without paying for a larger feature set.
HP Smart Tank 7603 All-in-One Inkjet Printer, Color Mobile Print, Copy, Scan
At USD 349.99, this is the most expensive listing in this set, and it is the one whose title spells out ADF. The listed input type is print, copy, scan, fax, ADF, and wireless, so it is the model to look at when faxing or scanning multi-page documents is part of your workflow. It is also listed as new, which may be important if you prefer not to rely on a used printer. The clear limitation is price: at $349.99, it is $180.00 above the least expensive listing and $150.00 above the Smart Tank 6001.
HP PhotoSmart 7520 e-ALL-IN-ONE Photo Printer and Scanner with Accessories
This is the only used listing in the group, priced at USD 175.00. The title identifies it as a photo printer and scanner, while the attributes list cable connectivity and portable features. Several extras are mentioned in the description, including a power cord, data cable, and printed setup guide. The key limitation is also in that description: the scanner works, but the print head and cartridge likely need to be replaced. If you are prepared to handle that step, this listing gives you a photo-oriented all-in-one at a $175.00 price point.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- Look at the HP Smart Tank Plus 651 if you want a new all-in-one with fax and the lowest listed price in this group.
- Choose the HP Smart Tank 6001 if you want a new Smart Tank with mobile print but do not need fax or ADF.
- Pick the HP Smart Tank 7603 if fax and an automatic document feeder are must-haves in a new machine.
- Consider the HP PhotoSmart 7520 if you are buying a used photo printer and scanner and are comfortable with the print-head and cartridge work described in the listing.
