2760 does everything except have an ethernet port. If you don't care about the 5 page difference in PPM (page per minute printed) than I would go with 2760.
Granted you are getting 3 Black ink bottles with the 3760..I still don't see that paying for itself at $280 just for an ethernet port and 5 more PPM..
Ill be waiting for a sale on the 2760. Not 2 black ink bottles, but still have an extra and these last a long time. I saw a previous post that the 2760 goes on sale for $220. Thats $80 in savings or almost 2 full ink Epson ink kits to match the sale price $280 of 3760.
Unfortunately these both do not fax and you'll have to get the 4760, which is also not different besides the fax capability.
They really made 3 different models based on Ethernet port and Fax..
No Ethernet Port - #2760 $220 (Costco Sale after 11/20?)
-> Ethernet Port - #3760 $280 (Costco Sale Current)
-> Ethernet Port + Fax - #4760 $330 (BF sale at Target 11/28-30)
I'd avoid this since my last Epson Ecotank printer (and all other Epson inkjets) get clogged heads frequently, requiring "cleaning" which is pushing through lots of ink through, wasting ink, your time and paper. The Canons and Brothers megatank printers I've tried have no such clogging problems.
As someone who owns this model I wanted to offer a simple suggestion and my thoughts.
Mine is hooked to a PC - and that PC stays on constantly as my media server. I setup a print job that prints a color test page every 3 days. This way all the colors get used, the ink stays fresh in the tubes, and nothing gets clogged.
I did this with task scheduler.
The printer was installed 6/2020. It has been printing a test page every 3 days since then. We use it for regular print jobs once every week or two - but not terribly often. It currently has 75% of its ink left after the original fill.
There is zero delay printing - no cleaning of the jets or print heads or whatever - no spinning noises - none of the shit that used to drive me up the wall about my old cannon AIO. the best day of my like was throwing that old cannon away.
Works great for airprint as well. Never had an issue with the document feeder.
RTINGS review looks good. https://www.rtings.com/printer/re...nk-et-3760
Main hesitation is if any color laser printer Black Friday deals come up for around the same price over the next week.

Stores still have the item as active. Local store had a couple yesterday but could not cancel the my online order. Online at Costco is backordered to ship around 11/26.
A family member recently got the Canon Megatank stacking Staples coupons, making it a bit less than this deal. But that printer did not have automatic feed.
Reviews show these are still prone to clogging but seems to happen when they are not used and left with empty tanks, same as when regular ones are left with empty cartridges.

Both models do not support auto document feeder and automatically duplex printing. If you would like to print duplex pages, you will have to do manually.

that is very ingenious. Can you plz put down the steps.
And did you sue any specific color test page that prints all 4 colors and uses min ink...

Sams showing "bonus black ink" but nowhere it mentions how many extra black ink bottles it comes with.
