does have a scanner (does any printer not these days?)

Maybe not, other than professional equipment. Still, it's something that's annoyed me over the years.

Ink tanks, I think is the word you want. (Something else that's a pain about my mother's Envy - the ink cartridges are not only expensive, but small. At least on my previous HP they lasted longer.) Unfortunately, that model has been discontinued by Epson but I'll look at their current replacement. What would you say about its noise level?
