Wireless printer with Linux compatibility

At home, I have a HP Photosmart Premium C310 that has WiFi, I had no issues
connecting to it and printing from it. It's got internet connectivity as
well, so worst case scenario and you can't connect to it, you can just
email whatever you needed to print to it and it will print it (after a
1-2min delay). I've emailed it Word documents and PDFs that printed fine,
but it doesn't like OpenOffice docs unless they're saved in PDF or Word
format, which is kind of annoying.
