http://www.linuxprinting.org HP are probably your best bet, because they co-operate with linux driver writers and support projects like http://hpoj.sf.net and http://hpinkjet.sf.net
My HP PSC 2210 works well as a printer, scanner and media reader (cf and other cards that i don't have so can't try) under linux. I haven't tried the faxing options, but it can't send a fax under computer control even in windows (even if you can get the drivers to work). I guess it will work as a regular fax machine (but has no sheet feeder). Weird thing is i could not get the goddamn drivers supplied with it to work under windows 2000. Its so long since I tried I cannnot remember what the problem looked like, but it was all so brain dead and automated that there didn't seem any way to fix it. The best conclusion I came to was a motherboard/usb chipset problem, but it works under linux, so your guess is as good as mine.
