You can’t really miss with most HP printers.  These are generally well supported under Linux in CUPS and HPLIP

(Also in most distro repos). Scanner support sometimes takes a proprietary blob plugin, but that is fairly well automated in HPLIP.  I know some here despise HP laser printers but they have never let me down - so far. 

Make sure to check the supported printers list esp. if you repo has an older version.
