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.

 

Had a lot of trouble installing a deskjet 845c on USB (Windows), on some 
machines it would not be detected, on others it would be fine. No idea 
really.
