I am working with HP psc2210 I am not sure if they manufacture it now but I am sure there are other models in the psc series. As much as I know all these models are supported under Linux. It has a fax/scanner The scanner works great using SANE. There should be a way to send a fax directly but I did not find it. The printer also contains card reader that works great under Linux.
