Almost all HP printers are well-supported in Linux using the hplip open source drivers which act as a backend to CUPS and are developed with help from HP. hplip also supports features such as scanning on all-in-ones. hplip is available in most modern distributions. For a complete list of supported printers, go to http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html - there are over 1500 printers listed. In fact, there are less than 20 HP printers that _aren't_ supported by the hplip drivers! Thanks to HP's support of open source drivers for their printers I don't look anywhere else when deciding on a printer to buy. -- Manuel A.
