Any current HP model with ethernet connector and/or WLAN. With HPLIP
(http://hpinkjet.sf.net/), version 0.9.8 or newer you can make printing
(via CUPS queue), scanning (via SANE), sending faxes (via CUPS queue),
memory card access, inkjet maintenance, and ink level check available,
also when the device is connected to the network.

I have tested wthis by myself with several HP models here at Mandriva.
