I have a couple-of-years-old HP all-in-one network printer/scanner, it was pretty cheap (I think I bought it in LIDL), works fine with xsane, I'm using the hpaio/hpcups/hplip drivers over the network from OpenBSD (also no problems with macos/windows). I doubt the same model (Officejet_4500_G510g-m) would still be available but in general the hpaio-supported things shouldn't be too awkward.
