Same here .. using HP officejet Pro 6960 on all the CentOS 7 nodes here .
The only potential issue (what I had to do for that model) is that I
needed to grab the newer hplip packages from upstream
(https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing), as the one
from base repo was too old to support that model

Everything works, including scanning through the network (xsane, or
simplescan which does its job)
