Just to chime in favor of HP. I recently purchased a Deskjet F4200[1] series 
printer which works out of the box in Fedora. Out of the box as in just connect 
the thing to the USB port while using Gnome and wait for a few seconds !! Pretty 
unbelievable stuff and yes, everything works.

cheers,
steve
