My experience with a LAN/USB brother printer/scanner helped me forget my HP nightmares, they have drivers for Linux althought Linux recognizes it and uses it without issue or their drivers, and still got a firmware update the other day after more than 10 (i think) years that I have it. Model DCP-L2540DN.
