I have an HP OfficeJet Pro (all-in-one) at home and it runs fine under Linux. It was actually plug and play through USB. Also, before that, I had an old HP laser which I can't remember the model of, and again, no issues with it working under Linux. My experience has been pretty decent using HP printers and Linux.
