We've been using an HP7410 "OfficeJet" MFP with Linux for a few years.
It works pretty well with the latest HPLIP software (and even a few
versions prior to the latest).

There's also the 'hp-toolbox' command that will bring up a GUI sorta
like the one on windows. NB: The GUI uses sane.

However, don't expect the OCR you get on the window's version to work.
