I don't think it's quite as clear-cut as that (although i have no
hesitation in recommending HP), but you shouldn't take my word or
Daniel's for it - you should look up the specific model at:

This is the definitive source for Linux printing (it used to be called
linuxprinting.org) and has a lot of great resources.
