The HP LaserJet Tank MFP 2602sdw is a wireless black-and-white laser printer that prints, copies and scans. Instead of cartridges, it uses a refillable toner tank pre-filled with enough toner for about 5,000 pages. It suits small offices, home offices and students who print often and want a low cost per page.
Key Features & Benefits
- Refillable toner tank (pre-filled for ~5,000 pages): You start printing without buying toner first. Refills take about 15 seconds, with no cartridge swaps or messy powder.
- Automatic duplex printing: Prints on both sides of the page automatically. As a result, long reports and handouts use up to half the paper.
- 40-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF): Copy or scan multi-page contracts, receipts and notes in one pass. Additionally, the ADF accepts Legal-size originals.
- Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB connectivity: Share one printer across an office or study group. Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) and Wi-Fi Direct work even without a router.
- Mobile printing with HP Smart: Print and scan from Android or iPhone using HP Smart, AirPrint or Mopria. For instance, students can scan assignments straight to PDF or email.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the HP 2602sdw print in colour?
No. It prints and copies in black and white only. However, it scans in colour, which helps with certificates, IDs and photos.
How is a toner tank different from a toner cartridge?
A cartridge is replaced as a whole unit. With the 2602sdw, you refill toner from a reload kit, while the imaging drum stays installed. As a result, the cost per page is usually lower than cartridge-based lasers.
How long will the included toner last?
The pre-filled toner covers about 5,000 pages at standard coverage. For instance, at 200 pages a week, that is roughly six months of printing.
Can I print from my phone without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Wi-Fi Direct lets your phone connect straight to the printer. Then print through HP Smart, AirPrint or Mopria.
Will it work with my Mac or Linux PC?
Yes. macOS 10.15 and later are supported, as is Linux through HP’s HPLIP drivers. Full HP software features are Windows-focused.
Does it scan both sides automatically?
No. The ADF scans one side at a time. For double-sided originals, flip the stack and scan again.
How does it compare with the 2602sdn and 2602dn?
The 2602sdn has the same ADF and duplex but no Wi-Fi. The 2602dn drops the ADF. Choose the 2602sdw if you need wireless and multi-page scanning.
Important Notes (Confirm Before Publishing)
- Refill kit code: HP lists 154A/154X for the Rest of Emerging Markets region and 153A/153X elsewhere. Confirm which kit fits the Kenyan stock.
- USB cable: HP’s box contents list no USB cable. Confirm, and consider stating “USB cable sold separately.”
- Output tray capacity: Most sources say 100 sheets; some regional listings say 150. Verify against your datasheet.
- Warranty: HP offers up to 3 years on registration within 60 days in some regions. Confirm the terms that apply in Kenya.
- Fax: There is no built-in fax modem. “Mobile fax” relies on the HP Smart app and an internet connection.
- ADF: HP’s spec table labels the ADF “optional” in a shared series field, but it is standard on the 2602sdw. Confirm the unit includes it.
- Power adapter/plug: Confirm the regional power cord (UK-type plug for Kenya).
