In general, yes, HPs are pretty well supported. However, they have
shipped non-standard printers that don't work so well. For example,
the low-end HP2600n uses a different driver than the 2600 and the
2650. Though you can get it to work with CentOS, it's a bit of a pain.
In fact, though the 2600n is listed with the other printers with
similar model numbers, it won't work. You need to download a package
from HP (at least there is one), or grab the foozjs drivers and
compile them.
The commodity Canons are OK for light use, occasional printing. That
seems harsh, but I can say the same for Samsung, Brother and HP. All
their low-end ones seem to fail after about a year or use. But hey,
for $80 they cost as much as getting a mid-range printer that you
update every 5 years. I print about 10 pages a week, and occasionally
40 to 50 pages on specific projects every other month or so.
