HP has been supporting linux drivers for its printers and scanners for 
quite some time.  Drivers are readily available.  I have two HP machines 
hooked up to my FC2 system - a Laserjet with parallel connector and a 
usb multifunction OfficeJet (fax, scan, print, copy) which uses their 
ink jet driver and their officejet driver.
