I've been running an HP MFP281 for a year or two now and it functions 
well.  There are some downsides though to be aware of:

* HPLIP doesn't support all HP printers, and not as quickly as you might 
wish, so be prepared to find the nearest model for CUPS.

* HP have sharp practice over toner cartridges.  To be clear, software 
updates will invalidate full third party cartridges which end up on the 
skip.  The phrase "sod the customer" comes to mind.

On the plus side, quality is good.  Colour is fine and the resolution of 
the scanner is good.  The paper feed mechanisms both for printing and 
for scanning are fine.

HTH,
Martin
