Just buy HP (Hewlett-Packard). The HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP)[0,1] provides full support for printing on most HP SFP (single function peripheral) inkjets and many LaserJets, and for scanning, sending faxes and for photo-card access on most HP MFP (multi-function peripheral) printers.

- teunispeters 6y agoYMMV with this, ensure the model is supported. (been burnt a couple of times) I've had no issues with Brother though.
- 29athrowaway 6y agoI use a HP printer with Linux and it works out of the box. Never had any problem with it (printing, scanning, etc).
- dcminter 6y agoVery much this. Earlier this year I bought an HP Colour LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw which has a scanner built in. Although HPLIP didn't support the scanner initially, it now does, and I'm quite delighted with the whole setup.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoHP used to be the best but I'm not sure anymore. The last couple of devices I had from them were dire whereas the Brother we have at home has been going strong for a long time.
- supportlocal4h 6y agoHP hasn't been the best for 20 years. I second (or third or fourth) the recommendation for Brother.
- morpheuskafka 6y agoHP is also among the leaders of ink DRM and tracking technology for their Instant Ink subscription.
- drran 6y agoI have HP LaserJet 1020 and I hate it, because it needs firmware to be uploaded after start, which is hard to setup properly.
