This is as close as I can get: My father-in-law has an HP all-in-one
*inkjet* printer (Officejet 6600). He doesn't do any scanning, so I
can't comment on that, but the printer was automatically detected by
Ubuntu 13.10 and both printing and faxing works flawlessly.  So, HP
has good Linux-compatibilty cred with me.
