As a johnny-come-lately to this discussion, I come down on the HP side with caveats. I currently run two printers, a HP Photosmart 2610 5-in-1 (print/fax/scan/copy/photo and a Canon i860 which was purchased first, to go along with a new digital camera in 04. The HP came home when the better half wanted some copying and fax capability. Little did we know what a journey we embarked on. the Canon is now hooked up to the airport and works flawlessly, as long as it is fed. The HP is now hooked up straight to main computer, dual G5 1.8 (june '04, running 10.4.11). What took almost 6 months to discover was the inability of the 2610 to work its multiple functions on a family computer set up for fast user switching. That is when it came off the Airport and was plugged in directly. Then last time I tried to scan/OCR some data in, hp wanted me to deinstall, reload and reinstall the drivers-EACH & EVERY time someone else used the computer.(on the 4 users who wasn't the main guy) That was about 6 months ago and I haven't seen lately if they have upgraded the support/driver. It boils down to failure of my researching the product and the salesman's level of knowledge when I described what I wanted to do.
I realize both my printers are aged things now, but until I know things will change for the better that is where I am stuck. Enjoy the quality of both and the ability to print to photo paper.
